Outgoing Executive Committee challenged UNITY Youth Councils to create community projects focused on Bullying Awareness at the 2017 National Conference. The National UNITY Council adopted the HERO Initiative and Resolution at their Annual Business Meeting this summer in Denver, Colorado.

H.E.R.O. stands for the traditional concepts that can be used to live a healthy lifestyle when faced with adversity: Healing, Empower, Respect and Overcome. The Executive Committee hopes that UNITY Youth Councils will encourage others to “Be a Hero” in their home communities to the combat negative consequences associated with bullying. How can your youth help spread awareness? For more information or to let us know of your HERO project please contact your Regional Representative or the EC Liaison Josh Tso at j.tso@unityinc.org.
