Stand For Courage

Stand For Courage Teaching youth leaders how to establish a bystander culture that stops bullying. The program guides youth to help themselves.

Stand for Courage provides recognition, community support, and cultural currency to youth who stand up for themselves and others. Researchers estimate that ninety percent of bullying is a result of wanting to get attention. By shifting the attention away from negative behavior and towards positive behavior, we can change student's behavior, creating a domino effect among their peers. Students nomi

nate others to be recognized by culture makers and at events. Our Youth Advisory Board assists in promoting and implementing the foundation's activities and awards, mentors younger students, and actively "does the right thing" at school, offering extracurricular events, school assemblies and our platform online. We also offer education for youth and their adult educators and caregivers. Backed by science, the support of celebrities, and the voices of students themselves, we're putting an end to bullying, inspiring this generation to embrace a nationally recognized cultural movement based on inclusivity and compassion.

Most young people can tell you exactly what it feels like to be ignored, excluded, or put down.

They also remember the people who made them feel seen.

A kind word.
A listening ear.
A moment of encouragement.
Someone who believed in them before they believed in themselves.

Small acts can make a lasting difference ❤️

Most kids who witness bullying want to help. But silence feels safer.

We’re changing that by giving students the tools to step up and celebrating them when they do.

These photos take us back to Amplify Courage, an unforgettable evening of music, connection, and a shared commitment to creating a world where kindness is louder than bullying.

As we continue our work beyond the event, we’re grateful for every artist, sponsor, volunteer, supporter, and attendee who helped make it possible.

The conversation doesn’t end when the lights go down. We’re just getting started.

The world can feel loud.
Divided.
Overwhelming.

But every day, we see proof that something else exists, too.

A friend who checks in.
A teacher who refuses to give up.
A kid who stands up for someone being bullied.

Courage isn’t always grand. Sometimes it’s simply believing that goodness still exists and deciding to be part of it.

Believe there is good in the world. Then help create more of it ♥️

A note from our founder, Nicole Jon Sievers:

It happened: Amplify Courage.
And it was everything.

We soared together through the Moore Theatre, and I watched people step into the night leaning into one another, laughing. Community, hopeful and fully alive.

I am heart-full.
Every artist blessed us and left us wrapped in auditory-light. Every person in that room had the chance to step into something larger in themselves, in community, and to carry the practical courage of bullying prevention back into their lives.

Gratitude to everyone who held hands to build the scaffolding. Everyone who made the dream their own. Who called in friends and collaborators. Who offered names, numbers, time, ideas, practical support and extraordinary talent.

Everyone who packed bags, boarded planes, left pets and children and the comfort of home to show up. Everyone who took Ubers, searched for parking, bought tickets, posted, and filled that room with presence.

I am humbled.
Honored.
Delighted.
Recharged.
