Dear Potential sponsor:

every two hours a young person between the ages of 15 and 24 takes his or her life.

Sometimes this tragedy stems from bullying at school. Bullying is preventable, but our schools lack the funds to help our local youth. A small investment can create a huge impact when combined with the right training skills. Unfortunately, many of our local schools also lack the skills. You can make a difference by joining with the efforts of The Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center (PCRC) to raise funds for our anti-bullying services.

PCRC invites you to become a proud sponsor of the second annual Building empathy & Respect “BeR” Anti-bullying Fundraiser. The Warren Dale Teddy “BER” Award will be presented to Paula Uccelli for her longtime leadership in building empathy and respect. Your sponsorship is a great opportunity to support our organization’s core mission:

to foster collaborative engagement by bringing people together, facilitating

conversation, and building these skillsin our community.

Our organization strives to provide youth with a strong foundation for the future by developing their confidence, self-respect, leadership skills, and integrity. PCRC helps communities develop skills to prevent bullying and intervene when it occurs.

Youth today are bombarded with messages, choices, and peer pressure that aren’t always good for them. We can’t always be there for them; however, we can empower them to make the right choices, and teach them to respect themselves, others and their community. Through our efforts we can provide social skills that will equip youth to face an ever-changing and diverse world.

In the enclosed sponsorship packet, you’ll find the following information:

BackgroundAccording to recent studies, 32% of students ages 12 through 18 reported they were bullied at school , and about 43% reported they were cyber-bullied in the past year. For 25 years, PCRC has helped communities eradicate bullying by educating and developing skills to both prevent bullying and intervene when it occurs.

Anti-Bullying servicesintervention• Building Empathy & Respect (BER): youth and parents learn about the harmful impact of disrespectful behavior and how to develop empathy and respect for others.

• Family Dialogues: families explore aggression, including teasing, gossiping and bullying, and its impact on childrens’ self-esteem.

• Mediation: trained volunteers mediate disputes by helping conflicting parties communicate effectively, uncover interests and reach resolution.

Prevention• Cyber-Bullying education: families learn strategies to identify and manage cyber-bullying.

• Youth Development: youth learn skills to better manage bullying and conflict, and to serve as community leaders.

• Parent education and Faculty Development: parents and teachers learn effective communication techniques and skills to establish safe and respectful homes and classrooms.

Visions for the FutureIn 2011-2012, PCRC served approximately 10,000 youth and community members throughout San Mateo County. Partners have felt immediate impacts as noted by a school counselor: “BER program participants have improved their behavior. Teachers . . . see a change in their respect for others. Parents have appreciated how the BER program has opened needed discussion between them and their children.” PCRC’s plan is to continue to provide anti-bullying services and to develop partnerships with social network services to create interactive, web-based anti-bullying and conflict resolution resources for youth, parents, and community members. Finally, PCRC seeks to serve as a national model addressing bullying in all its forms.

testimonials

“I learned how to see the other person’s point of view and to respect others.” student

“I think I was the only one here who has a child who fell in the category of (a bully) and I want to help him break this and want to find the resources.” Parent

“Students get the most from the idea of what we have control over. When I am talking with a student who is upset with someone or is stressed out about something, we discuss the things they have control over and go from there. It helps the students focus on what they can do and not to worry about what they can’t change or do anything about (changing someone else’s behavior). That message gives the students perspective.” teacher

“Students shared a lot during our student-only session, and many said that it was a place where they felt safe to speak honestly. One of the most surprising things for me was to see almost all students recognize the similarities among them, despite their diverse backgrounds. As a teacher, I encourage all students to work together, but there are often so many students who will never talk to each other outside of the classroom. It was great to see that these students felt comfortable around peers who they did not previously know or talk to. It was great for me to meet new students, and for them to see another adult on campus that they could come to.” teacher

“(PCRC’s workshops taught me) how I can teach my child to express feelings and techniques in how to have better communication with my kids.” Parent

“PCRC gives us older students an opportunity to have hands-on experience with using words to solve problems. It also gives them a chance to serve as models for younger students and show what they know and act on their beliefs.” student
