Our Workshop Series
The Respect For All ProjectThe Respect For All Project (RFAP) seeks to create safe, hate-free schools and communities. A program of GroundSpark, RFAP provides youth and the adults who guide their development the tools they need to engage in age-appropriate discussions about human difference, preventing prejudice and building caring communities. |

Parents and guardians are often concerned about their children's safety and well-being amidst increasing reports of school bullying and harassment. They can feel alone and powerless about how to respond
Workshops may include the following:
- Modeling classroom activities
- How to discuss issues raised in the film with students
- Intervention strategies
- Classroom management to foster safe schools
- Next steps for schools and communities
Schools, community groups, parents and youth-service providers may sign up to host a workshop on any of the films in The Respect For All Project. See our schedule of fees.
Some public schools and community groups in California may qualify for subsidized workshops using our film Let's Get Real, thanks to support from the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, The Marguerite Casey Foundation, The Ford Foundation, The California Endowment, and the Arcus Foundation.

Trainee Quotes
"The engaging film and experienced facilitators make The Respect
For All Project a pioneer in addressing prejudice and harassment among
youth. The workshop and accompanying curriculum address the causes and
consequences of bullying and do not gloss over the serious ramifications
that these behaviors can have on the healthy functioning of our nation's
youth. If your school or organization is serious about addressing bullying,
The Respect For All Project is a fantastic resource!"
—Susan M. Swearer, associate professor of school psychology, University
of Nebraska - Lincoln
"The Respect For All training really helped
everyone get on the same page in our district.
The trainers are a knowledgeable group who are
or have been teachers and so can relate well to
school employees."
—Sarah Supahan, director, Indian Education
Program, Hoopa, CA
"I believe we all must do our part to stop the epidemic of bullying
in our schools. Study after study has shown that bullying creates physical
and emotional harm, and also plays a significant role in decreased school
attendance and academic performance. I am proud to support this incredible
program, because I know that the Respect for All Project has made a
real difference in other communities where these workshops have taken
place. I look forward to seeing the benefits of these workshops and
resources in our local school communities."
—Nebraska State Senator Gwen Howard
"I've attended a number of bullying workshops before, but
this one gave me a useful way to think about the problem of bullying
and offered me some real student-centered tools to use in building a
safer school."
