Start a ReThink chapter in your community
Take the first step to be an UpStander, a Community Leader and not a silent ByStander
A ReThink chapter is an organized forum to spearhead the ReThink movement in your local school and/or community. We invite nominations from schools, colleges, libraries, community centers, and health centers to start a ReThink Chapter at their institution. Every ReThink chapter is part of the global ReThink movement to stop online hate and promote tolerance and inclusivity. By starting a chapter at your school, college, or community, you have the ability to lead and empower your fellow adolescents to become safe and responsible digital citizens.
Nominated students start a ReThink chapter at their school or college and become leaders to help empower young students to ReThink before posting hurtful messages online. After being nominated by a teacher, counselor, or administrator, nominators and students work with the ReThink Team to formalize their chapter. These student leaders organize activities throughout the school year in conjunction with their school or college’s administration to promote awareness of online and in-person bullying and to create a tolerant, inclusive environment for communities at your school or college.
Please see the ReThink Chapter FAQ's to learn more about the program.
