Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama is training volunteers in Power Up! "This nationally-recognized bullying prevention initiative encourages the 85 percent of the population who are bystanders to bullying (rather than targets or bullies) to recognize the strength in those numbers and use it to intervene when they see something wrong.
The stereotypical vision of bullying is the kind of physical bullying more common among boys. Far more common among both boys and girls is verbal bullying, name-calling and other forms of verbal harassment. Most people and programs virtually ignore relational bullying, the systematic diminishment of a child’s sense of self-worth through exclusion, shunning and gossip.
Relational bullying is all too common among girls of all ages, but girls can be taught to prevent it and to intervene when they see any bullying happen in their schools."
Volunteer in your community and be a role model to girls who need YOU! If you would like to be invited to our next training session please let us know! Date TBA
