Our mission: change the culture in our schools that leads to violence
Because the time to act to make schools safer is now.
Walking up can be the change and provide the hope a troubled person needs.
Walking up doesn’t require any special skills. Just listen, observe, and identify a person in need.
1. WalkUp
All it takes is noticing someone who looks like they need a friend.
2. Care
Start with compassion, and then just listen.
3. Ask
Ask if you can help or if someone else can.
4. Evaluate
Determine if this person needs more help than you can offer.
5. Act
Talk to your parents. Tell a teacher, a police officer or an adult immediately.
Follow these simple steps to do something for someone who may harm themselves or others. WalkUp and change school culture and change the world for the better.

Students, parents, educators can all play a part. Learn how to get involved.
