SAVE Promise Club

SAVE Promise Club Students Against Violence Everywhere (SAVE) Promise Club is the youth leadership initiative of Sandy Hook Promise. Join the Club!

Create change for safer schools and communities. In April of 1989, over 200 students from West Charlotte Senior High School (NC) gathered at a party. A carload of young men from a rival school showed up armed and looking for trouble. As teens panicked, 17-year-old Alex Orange stepped forward. Alex, a fullback on the West Charlotte football team, was a young man who looked out for other people. Ale

x told the intruders this was no place for violence. Sadly, shots were fired and Alex fell to the floor. Surrounded by shaken friends and schoolmates, Alex lost his life to gun violence. The following week, students returned to school mourning yet another young life lost too soon to violence. Joining together in their grief, they vowed that something was going to change, and change for the better! The group formed Students Against Violence Everywhere (SAVE). In 2017, SAVE and Sandy Hook Promise combined efforts to collectively expand our reach and sustain our work on educating and empowering young people to help prevent gun violence (and other forms of violence and victimization) - BEFORE it happens. There are now thousands of SAVE Promise Clubs across the country. Add your voice to our efforts by forming a SAVE Promise Club at your school or youth organization. Engage, empower, encourage and educate your friends and peers to Know The Signs and create safer schools and communities.

When school is out for summer, many students lose the daily connections they rely on. This summer, make it a goal to reach out to a friend, classmate or neighbor. A quick message, invitation, or conversation can help someone feel seen and valued.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Send a how's your summer going text
๐ŸŽฎInvite someone to play a game online
๐Ÿ€Meet up for sports, a walk, or trip to a park
๐ŸŽฌHost a movie night
๐ŸฆGrab a snack together
๐Ÿ“žCall someone you haven't talked to in awhile
๐Ÿ’š Reach out to someone who seems quiet or left out

Let's make this a summer of connection, kindness, and community.

LGBTQ+ students experience bullying at more than twice the rate of their peers, a reality that can lead to lasting harm.

But youth like you are making a powerful difference by looking out for one another, building connections, and using your voice to create a culture of change.

Every student deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported. Learn the facts, share what you learn, and help create a more inclusive future.

๐ŸŽ‰ Congratulations to Nathan Fleming, West Mifflin Area High School, the very first recipient of the Mr. Jim Comunale Scholarship! ๐ŸŽ‰

This special scholarship was made possible through the efforts of the WMAMS SAVE Promise Club and Student Activities, who raised funds during their annual Color Run to support graduating seniors pursuing careers in the trades.

Created in honor of the lasting legacy of Mr. Jimmy Comunale, the scholarship helps students continue developing their skills, passion, and craftsmanship beyond high school.

It's inspiring to see young leaders coming together to invest in one another's
futures and strengthen their community.

Nathan, we wish you continued success as you take the next step in your journey!

From subtle cues to overt signals, people who are at risk of hurting themselves or others often show warning signs. Knowing what to look for can make all the difference.

Trust your instincts and speak up by telling a trusted adult, school staff member or safety official when something doesn't seem right.

Say Something saves lives.

Learn & share the warning signs here: https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/resources/warning-signs/
