The TUPE program educates our students on the dangers of tobacco, nicotine, cannabis, and alcohol use, enabling students to become leaders in educating their peers and the community. Students are empowered to be an integral part of the program's prevention efforts.

Is someone's vaping becoming a problem?

Currently, all tobacco and marijuana vape related issues are being reported using the TUPE Support Referral Form. Parents, students, teachers, counselors and administrators can all fill out the form to refer a student who may need help. Once received, the referrals are assigned to a case worker who will then follow up with the student. The TUPE Coordinator is also made aware of the situation and will contact the case worker in order to provide education or intervention. Use the link below to submit a referral.

Digital 4 Good Assemblies @ ALL HIGH SCHOOLS!

Digital4Good x #ICANHELP delivered powerful presentations on digital citizenship and literacy to over 1500 students in AUSD. The presentation highlighted how students and adults can maintain a positive digital footprint and become “Digital First Responders”: people who are prepared to handle cyberbullying, artificial intelligence (AI) misuse, and other digital crises as soon as they arise. Each assembly was followed by a discussion with student leaders at each site. Digital 4 Good also provided guidance for parents and caregivers in a Parent Night webinar. You can find a video recording here.

Digital4Good x #ICANHELP is a nonprofit that educates students about responsible technology use and empowers children, teens, and adults to handle conflict, toxicity, and harassment online. 

“We don’t usually think of it, but just like the way negativity can spread, people can be swayed or encouraged when the majority are doing ‘good’ online. Students just need to be shown how to respond to the negativity. We need to empower our future generations to take action against all the issues that are arising with technology,” says Co-Founder Kim Karr. “Through Digital4Good, students are learning that kindness is saving lives and it doesn’t have to be anything big — a simple smile, encouraging social media post, or a nice Post-it note on a locker might be all it takes.”

Students are the core of the solution to online toxicity, and with the proper training and support, they can be empowered to use digital technology as a force for positive change. According to Kim Karr, “Digital4Good has worked directly with over seven hundred thousand students to be the digital change they want to see.” The nonprofit’s student-led approach to solving complicated social issues presents students as part of the solution, not the problem. It aims to raise awareness, offer real-world best practices, and celebrate the many examples of students using digital for good.
