SAVE Promise Club
SAVE Promise Clubs are youth-led organizations that encourage young people to take charge of keeping their friends, schools, and communities safe.
Students Against Violence Everywhere (SAVE) Promise Club is the youth leadership initiative of Sandy Hook Promise. Led by our Youth Advisory Board, the aim is to empower young leaders to take an active role in increasing school safety and preventing different forms of violence in schools and communities. Watch the video and learn what SAVE Promise Club is about!
Students learn from each other about how to create an inclusive school culture of looking out for one another through activities, events, and projects that promote kindness.
Club members are empowered with knowledge and skills necessary to provide service to their community and school.
SAVE Promise Clubs engage students in meaningful violence prevention efforts within their school and community.
Youth leadership encourages positive peer influences within the school and community through shared violence prevention efforts.
Students want safe schools and communities and want to lead the change in these efforts. Many young people suffer silently because they feel alone or invisible. Those who are isolated can become victims of bullying, violence, or depression. Some may pull further away from society, struggle with learning and social development, and even choose to hurt themselves or others.
Join us for dynamic virtual and in-person events tailored for youth and adults! Connect with peers from SAVE Promise Clubs and learn about engaging activities focused on violence prevention. Don’t have a SAVE Promise Club? Bring youth to learn how to educate, empower, engage, and encourage young leaders to take an active role in increasing school safety. These events are designed to equip all youth with valuable skills and knowledge, while fostering personal growth and community involvement.
Youth-led SAVE Promise Clubs offer a powerful approach to preventing violence because they recognize the unique role that young people play in making their schools and communities safer. A SAVE Promise Club can be a stand-alone club or embedded into an existing club, such as SADD, Student Council, FCCLA, or another student leadership, civic, or kindness club. Many SAVE Promise Clubs are successful meeting only once or twice a month and organizing four activities throughout the year.
