The Tyler Clementi Foundation’s mission is to end online and offline bullying in schools, workplaces, and faith communities. The Tyler Clementi Foundation (TCF) was founded by the Clementi family to prevent bullying through inclusion and the assertion of dignity and acceptance as a way to honor the memory of Tyler: a son, a brother, and a friend.
They are looking for leaders to maintain a #Day1 Representative group for their county, as well as representatives to be in these groups. The goal is to establish a group of high school students across the State from each county who are devoted to implementing this program and creating a welcoming environment in their schools. This is an incredible opportunity for students to get involved in their community and county while making a positive impact.
Last year, TCF launched the #Day1 Representatives initiative in Bergen County as part of the Youth Ambassadors projects and as a way for Bergen County high school students to work together and put a stop to bullying. #Day1 is an innovative campaign created by TCF that works to address bullying early on by having students take an Upstander Pledge.
