About Stop the Hate: Now in its 16th year, Stop the Hate invites 6th-12th grade students to pen a person essay in 500 words or less about bias they have witnessed, experienced, or learned about. Then, share what they have done or plan to do in response. Any student in Northeast Ohio's twelve counties is eligible. Students compete to win scholarships and grants for their school. For more information on the program, please visit learn.maltzmuseum.org.
Be a Volunteer Reader: Volunteers play a crucial role in the Stop the Hate Contest. With thousands of entries and $100,000 in scholarships and prizes to award, we need hundreds of passionate readers to ensure the best entries are recognized and awarded. Readers review a total of 10-20 entries via an online portal. Scoring is based on a rubric provided by the museum's Education Department. Entries will be anonymous. Volunteer Readers will be invited to a brief virtual training session regarding this year's prompt, rubric, and scoring protocol. A recording of this session will also be shared with anyone who cannot attend. More details to come in early 2024.
How it works: Volunteers are asked to read for both reading periods: Period One: Friday, February 9th - Monday, February 12th and Period Two: Friday, February 16th - Monday, February 19th, although exceptions can be made. Readers have four days (per reading period) to review and score entries, and they do not have to be scored in one sitting. As long as you have internet access, the reading can be done from anywhere in the world.
