  • Volunteer Spotlight: Julissa R. Today, we're shining a spotlight on Julissa Rivera, Community Investment Associate at The Miami Foundation wand a true champion for change. Julissa recently volunteered as a speaker at our April monthly PALP meeting for youth leaders, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended. Julissa's passion for community investment and youth advocacy is truly inspiring. She encouraged our young leaders to identify causes they are passionate about, igniting a fire within them to make a difference. Julissa's own dedication to supporting the veteran community and youth shines through in her advocacy and volunteer work. But Julissa's impact doesn't stop there. She not only talks the talk but walks the walk by volunteering in the very communities that helped shape her. Her commitment to giving back is unparalleled, and she goes above and beyond to make a positive impact wherever she goes. One of the most remarkable things about Julissa is her willingness to offer guidance and support to our youth. She generously offered to take them to volunteer at places they are passionate about, sparking excitement and enthusiasm among our young leaders. Thank you, Julissa, for being a beacon of hope, a voice for change, and a true inspiration to us all. Your passion, dedication, and advocacy are making the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. #VolunteerSpotlight #YouthAdvocate #CommunityChampion #InspiringLeadership #Gratitude #NVEEE #NationalVolunteerWeek #VolunteerWeek #VolunteerAppreciation #ServeWithPurpose #MakeADifference #GiveBack #CommunityService #VolunteerSpirit #SpreadKindness #Volunteerism #GratitudeForVolunteers

  • One of the calls we receive most is from parents not knowing how to report bullying and from students afraid of getting in trouble for stepping in or becoming a target if they do report it. We understand the concerns and the need for clear guidance. That’s why we're outlining the steps Broward County Public Schools has in place to support everyone in this process, ensuring safety and justice for all students. How You Can Be an Upstander: 👀 Witnessing Bullying? Take a stand. Let the person know it's not cool, and support the person being bullied. Show them they're not alone. 🤝 Offer Support: Sometimes, all it takes is a kind word, a listening ear, or walking with someone to make them feel safe. Be that friend. 📢 Speak Out and Report: Broward County Public Schools has a clear, confidential reporting system to ensure safety and support for all students. Reporting Bullying in Broward County Public Schools: Online Reporting: Visit the Broward County Public Schools website and fill out the bullying report form. It's secure and confidential. Speak to a Trusted Adult: A teacher, counselor, or school administrator can guide you through the process and offer immediate support. Call the Bullying Hotline: Available 24/7, this hotline ensures your voice is heard, and action is taken. Your bravery can save a life. Remember, your action can ripple through the community, creating waves of positive change. Together, we can build a world where every student, regardless of race, socio-economic status, or religion, feels valued, understood, and safe. 🌎💖 #BeAnUpstander #StopBullying #NVEEE #Empowerment #CommunityLove #BrowardStrong #BCPS #Mentor #Bullying #StopBullying #AntiBullying #BullyingPrevention
