We’re Building a New Homepage Experience!

Our homepage is getting a fresh new look to better reflect who we are, what we do, and how we help kids and teens know their worth, find their voice, and rise above bullying and mistreatment.

 

The rest of our website is still open! Use the header and footer menus to visit any page.

We Believe in the Power of Young People

Real change in the way kids and teens treat each other has to come from them. They have immense capacity to reach each other and connect in ways that adults just can’t. It all starts with giving them the opportunity to talk, ask questions, and learn from each other’s experiences. It grows by making sure each person knows that they matter and that it’s important to be to be true to who they are no matter what anyone else says. 

That’s what Act Like You Matter is all about.

 

Find your voice. Build your resilience. Be part of the solution. Make your world a better place.

YOU Matter!
