No child should ever have to fear for their safety at school.

Today would have been Rachel Joy Scott's 45th birthday. In honor of Rachel's birthday, we invite you to continue her chain reaction. Reach out to someone, encourage a friend, or choose one intentional act of kindness today. ❤️ #RachelsChallenge #ChainReactionOfKindness

A new school year is almost here. The connections made during the first weeks of school can shape the entire year. Now is the time to reserve your Rachel's Challenge program. Let's start this school year with kindness, connection, and hope.

Behind every number is a student. A family. A teacher. A school. A community. For more than 25 years, Rachel’s Challenge has partnered with schools to create environments where connection replaces isolation and kindness becomes contagious.

As schools prepare for a new year, now is the time to start building a climate of kindness that lasts all year. Rachel's Challenge partners with schools to address the root causes of violence, bullying, and isolation by creating environments where every student feels connected.

Saddling up for a new school year 🤠 Members of our staff gathered in Cody, WY, to recharge and prepare for another year of bringing hope, connection, and kindness to schools across the country. The best teams are built through connection. We can't wait to get back on the road.

During the week of America’s 250th birthday, we were honored to meet with Speaker Mike Johnson to discuss school violence prevention. Our future depends on creating safer schools and stronger communities for the next generation. 🇺🇸 – at Washington, DC

📚 This woman was a freshman at Columbine on April 20, 1999. After the shooting that day, police confiscated all the students’ belongings and returned them a couple of months later. She never opened her backpack… until now (she only threw away an old Lunchables). She’s treating it like a real time capsule — pulling out her old Avon lotion, Blow Pop, Yum Yum lip gloss, compact mirror, handwritten notes from friends, decorated binder, and German worksheet. Everything is exactly how she left it 27 years ago. It’s so wild seeing these little pieces of everyday 90s school life frozen in time. This story really warmed my heart. Who else thinks it’s great to see that day doesn’t seem to have affected her negatively at all? It looks like she has a beautiful family in that photo behind her and she seems so happy and at peace.

Today, our students participated and learned about Rachel's Challenge. The goal of this program is to prevent bullying, school violence, & suicide by encouraging kindness, compassion, and acceptance in students through a series of challenges based on Rachel's own "Code of Life".
