NERDS RULE INC. T.R.I.B.E Ambassador 12th Grade Intern

As the place where young people spend so much of their time, schools have the potential to play a major role in youth mental health. While school can be a stressful environment, in can also provide safety, positive role models, and opportunities for connection and building self-esteem.

NERDS RULE INC Interns are learning how to create “positive, safe, and affirming school environments” through developing anti-bullying policies, talking to students and families about mental health, using inclusive language and behaviors, and considering measures that would support student well-being, such as a later start to the school day.
