Who We Are

Established in 2018, The Safe Schools Project is a nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy group led by educators dedicated to fostering safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments in South Carolina schools.

Our Mission

We are committed to promoting the well-being of every student by advocating for student-centered measures that prioritize safety and inclusivity. Our goals encompass three key pillars:

Enhanced Mental Health Support

Recognizing the pivotal role school counselors and mental health professionals play in students' lives, we tirelessly advocate for increased funding for school counseling programs and mental health resources. We strive to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues, fostering an environment where every student feels supported on their educational journey.

Reducing Gun Violence

The devastating impact of gun violence on schools and communities cannot be ignored. The Safe Schools Project advocates for common-sense gun safety measures, including comprehensive background checks and restrictions on the sale of high-capacity magazines and assault weapons. Our aim is to create schools where students and educators can focus on learning without fear.

Cultivating a Culture of Safety and Inclusion

We actively work towards promoting a culture of safety and inclusion in schools. This involves supporting initiatives that create positive school climates, fostering respect, empathy, and understanding. We empower students to be catalysts for change within their communities, fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated and all students feel a sense of belonging.

Through these efforts, The Safe Schools Project is dedicated to creating safe and supportive learning environments for all students, ensuring that each student has the opportunity to reach their full potential in an environment that nurtures their academic and personal growth.
