Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The Hope Ambassador Program is a student-led initiative aligned with the Sandy Hook Promise’s SAVE (Students Against Violence Everywhere) Promise Program, dedicated to promoting a safe, inclusive, and connected school environment. Our program centers around the Four E’s — Educate, Empower, Encourage, and Engage — as guiding principles to cultivate kindness, leadership, and connection among students.

We are seeking funding to enhance and expand the scope of our Hope Ambassador activities for the upcoming school year.

With this support, we aim to develop more meaningful opportunities that foster community engagement, build authentic friendships, and sustain a positive school climate.

Our goal is to continue to educate students and staff on the importance of inclusion, mental wellness, and empathy through peer-led workshops and campaigns.

We hope to empower student leaders to plan and lead school-wide initiatives that address bullying, isolation, and mental health stigma. Along with encourage student voice and participation through consistent, accessible programming. Our hope is to engage the broader school community—including families and local partners—through outreach events, service projects, and awareness weeks.

We hope to bring monthly "Hope Hangouts" to create space for students to build friendships across grade levels, peer-led educational campaigns (e.g., Start With Hello Week, Unity Day).

School-wide events promoting mental health awareness and kindness.

We hope these games and activities will increase student participation in inclusive activities, improve perceptions of school connectedness and climate (measured by student surveys), continue growth in student leadership skills and peer-to-peer support, and strengthen relationships between students, staff, and the broader community.
