Celebrate your school's Student Upstanders and Trusted Adults.
Each year, thousands of schools, districts and youth-serving organizations nationwide come together to celebrate Say Something Week, a powerful movement that spotlights the impact of Trusted Adults and Upstanders in your community. It’s a week that includes easy to implement activities and conversations focused on empowering students to take action and create change. This year’s Say Something Week is March 23-27, 2026.
Open to any school or community organization serving grades K-12 that wants to create a culture to prevent school violence through our Say Something program. Our proven, no-cost program teaches students how to recognize the warning signs of someone at-risk of hurting themselves or others and how to tell a Trusted Adult to get help. Say Something Week activities are drawn directly from the complete no-cost Say Something program and reinforce its core skills and messaging.
