Our Mandate and Goals
CHANGE is a group that aims to empower school students to take preventative actions against issues such as: racism, bullying, and homophobia, along with health and addiction related issues and personal safety. CHANGE also aims to empower students to advocate for apprpopriate curriculum changes regarding these issues. To achieve this mandate, CHANGE aims to: hear the problems students’ face today in their social circles, and to give students a chance to take leadership roles in prevetive actions.
CHANGE is a group that listens to students’ about their problems, such as bullying, racism and homophobia, and then helps them to build their own preventive programs to assist in dealing with these issues. These programs may include workshops for their fellow students/parents/teachers, requests to incorporate certain discussions, texts, movies into the curriculum at their school, drama, inviting speakers, starting discussion clubs etc. We want to engage students, parents and teachers, where students have the leading role in creating change – – we believe that through working with the whole community we can stop violence, misinformation, and ignorance. Giving the leadership and guidance to young people we hope to start a whole new socially-aware generation of Reginians.
