Standing strong, together
Families Against Bullying Newark Valley is a grassroots campaign dedicated to creating a safer school environment. We advocate for change, support victims, and educate our community to drastically reduce bullying and protect our children.
Our promise to Newark Valley
As a grassroots campaign, we are driven by the lived experiences of our children and families in the Newark Vally, Berkshire, and Richford areas of New York.
We will advocate for real, lasting change within the Newark Valley Central School District so no child’s suffering is ignored or dismissed.
We will provide compassion, support, and connection to families navigating the heartbreak of bullying, reminding them they are not alone.
Together, we will build a community where cruelty is confronted, courage is celebrated, and every child has the chance to grow, learn, and thrive without fear.
