A Time for Change Beyond Differences’ 2015–2016 Annual Report

Dear Friends,

We’re all reading in the news about too much hatred and bullying in our schools. It’s time for change.

How? Only when schools, parents, community leaders and children—most of all our children—can truly confront the epidemic of social isolation on our middle school campuses.

We all know that social isolation is the root cause of too many bad things happening to our children: disengagement from school resulting in truancy or even complete academic failure; medical problems such as serious weight gain, increased blood pressure, and higher cholesterol; and an increase in substance abuse.

And, finally, social isolation causes the unimaginable emotional effects that we see too often in our country’s youth: depression and anxiety; self-harm; and suicidal ideation and attempts.

From an emergency room doctor in Portland, Oregon: In my heart of hearts, based on what I hear from patients, I really believe that a significant factor contributing to depression/suicidality/substance abuse comes from lack of supportive relationships with one’s peers or loved ones.

Thus, [Beyond Differences’] work is playing such a key role in anti-bullying, and also in preventing kids becoming the suicidal older kids or depressed and/or drug addicted or suicidal adults that I usually see in the ER.

What you do matters! I just thought I would share that with you today out of appreciation for your work.

In the past year, we developed a strategic plan focused on three main areas to enable us to create important changes. In the 2015–16 fiscal year, we made huge leaps:

• We have grown our national awareness days and special one-day activities at schools so that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of children will participate and feel the change they know can become a reality every day and not just on a few fun days during the year.

• We have partnered with more and more middle schools where, together, we are training students in 7th and 8th grade to be the change on their own school campus—taking what we teach them and turning it into real action!

• We’re expanding to new cities slowly and thoughtfully to successfully build out our year-round model: forming a high school Teen Board; training the teen leaders to lead assembly programs in middle schools;

and partnering with middle schools and recruiting even younger students from those campuses to be the change at their schools!

Your support enables us to keep dreaming and innovating through the morass of adolescence to create hope and excitement in children. Thank you.

We hope you enjoy reading through this year’s annual report, A Time for Change, and know how much we appreciate your enthusiasm for Beyond Differences.

With gratitude and thanks,Laura Talmus and Ace Smith Co-Founders

Students leading students—this is what leads to lasting change. Beyond Differences’ high school teen leaders mentor middle school students who then positively influence their own classmates. This year, we continued to build partnerships with middle schools to develop new student leaders.

Claremont Middle School is one of the schools we welcomed this year to Beyond Differences. The school has an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse student body.

In their own words—Assistant Principal Tonia Coleman: Beyond Differences changed the culture and climate at Claremont. Our students now not only have to go to school but they want to go to school! Beyond Differences allows students to find their voice and become leaders in the process. And that has helped Claremont become an inclusive school.

One of the students who was completely transformed by Beyond Differences is Cierra. She went from being in my office for disciplinary reasons to being there to make the daily announcements on the loudspeaker. Once she took on the role of being a leader, everything about her changed: she became nicer to her peers and she figured out how to excel in her classes.

The statistics for our black and brown students’ graduation rates in Oakland are dismal. But I know that Cierra is going to graduate. She’s destined for greatness and it’s because of opportunities provided by Beyond Differences.

Cierra: When I was younger, I used to be a bystander. The girls I was with didn’t like another girl and kept talking about her and laughing and I didn’t say anything about it.

In eighth grade, I joined the student council and Beyond Differences. We went on retreats and did workshops and learned how to communicate. I learned that I shouldn’t walk past people and leave them standing by themselves because I might have something in common with them.

Now, when other people look kind of mad or lonely, I go up and talk to them. Sometimes we have stuff in common. But if we don’t, I still have to talk with them and cooperate.

This is an important organization because you shouldn’t be a bystander. You should associate with other people and make sure they’re okay. I saw good changes in our school because of Beyond Differences. You can learn how to end social isolation in middle school.

Stay tuned to next year’s annual report to learn more about Cierra joining Beyond Differences’ Teen Board!

Beyond Differences is creating a national movement to end social isolation! And this year, Beyond Differences extended our reach to every state of the union through our three annual holidays, our curriculum offered to teachers, partnerships with national organizations, and social media outreach. We are in regular contact with more than 5,000 teachers throughout the country who utilize our resources and download our curricula. And because of your support, we are able to do this all of this free of charge.

Our teen leaders have a two-pronged approach to creating national change: three Beyond Differences holidays that bring a powerful focus and hashtag social media campaigns that envelop our three holidays and engage young people in taking action.

Be Kind Online Day: October 23, 2015Beyond Differences’ student leaders encourage other young people to take the pledge to “be kind online,” foster positive online relationships, and build digital environments based on kindness and respect.

SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN #10DeepBreathsThis campaign encouraged youth to pause before responding to negative communications online and foresee the potential ramifications of their communications. The goal was to increase empathy and awareness,

and decrease social isolation. Guiding students through a mindfulness exercise of taking 10 deep breaths to positively affect their behavior and decision-making is just part of the school curriculum offered by Beyond Differences.

We hope to instill in the students an understanding that actions can have

consequences, and this also applies to your online life. It’s not anonymous—there’s a real person on the other end of the screen and your words and actions can have a dramatic impact upon that person. But making the conscious choice to communicate with kindness benefits everyone.

— Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley

A NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN ALL 50 STATES!No One Eats Alone Day, February 13, 2016No One Eats Alone—our signature program which takes place during lunchtime at schools—is designed to ensure that students “mix it up” by sitting

with new friends. Participating schools received our popular National No One Eats Alone Day backpack,

chock-full of supplies, which we send at no cost. Additional support was provided to teachers and community contacts through national conference calls, emails, and webinars.

The message of No One Eats Alone—students creating change in their own school—was amplified

through widespread media coverage including in national outlets such as The Today Show, C-SPAN, NPR, Real Simple, and The Huffington Post, and regional media in the Bay Area, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, and Portland, Oregon.

SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN #SUSI: Stand Up and Step In!Young people were inspired by #SUSI: Stand Up Step In to be an “upstander”—instead of a bystander—and reach out to those who are socially isolated.

Excluding others is so common in so many schools and it needs to be stopped. I have personally experienced this and can say that watching it is not fun. A boy in my class was being excluded from a group project because he was socially awkward and different. So I stepped in and had him join my group. In the end we got an “A” and I was happy. So I’m asking everyone: please Stand Up and Step In. —Brooke, 7th grade

Be The One Day: April 22, 2016Be The One Day—another Beyond Differences’ student-led movement—helps students gain self-awareness of their own biases and prejudices that socially isolate others both online and in-person. Students learn to take responsibility for being accepting and inclusive to others. They leave negative behaviors behind to transform themselves into the students that will #BeTheOne to make their school a more accepting, respectful and inclusive place.

This year, 173 schools in 36 states—representing 107,978 students—dreamed big with us and signed up to be part of this day! Beyond Differences’ comprehensive lesson plans teach students to overcome prejudice, bigotry and hatred.

Students invited other students to “Be The One” to incorporate little acts of kindness at school and online.

Although she would grow up to be Miss Black Oregon USA 2016, when Octavia Chambers was in middle school, she experienced social isolation that led to self-harm. This year, Octavia spoke with eight middle schools and one high school in the Portland Public School district. In her own words, “Beyond Differences afforded me the opportunity to tell my story for the very first time, and to help students understand the devastating impact social isolation can have, even years later. I showed them my scars, my daily reminders of the bullying and social isolation I experienced in eighth and ninth grade.

I love inspiring students to imagine a different world; a world where everyone is kind, feels loved and included. But I know my influence is limited—changing the culture of school will only happen when students take the lead, reach out to one another, and build inclusive communities in and out of school.

I wish Beyond Differences had been in my middle school. How different my experience would have been if someone had reached out to me! With Beyond Differences, we can make this a reality for the next generation.

Octavia was just one of the speakers that Beyond Differences brought to the schools this year to inspire and empower the students.

Expanding into a New City

Portland, Oregon may be known for the Ducks, beautiful roses, and the television show Portlandia, but this year, it gained the distinction of becoming the first city outside of the San Francisco Bay Area to incorporate Beyond Differences into its school system. The Portland Public Schools partnered with Beyond Differences’ and offered our signature programs—No One Eats Alone, Be the One Day, and Be Kind Online Day—to students to end social isolation.

This expansion is the result of thoughtful meetings between members of the Beyond Differences staff and Board of Directors—led by board members Dr. Ruth Bissell and Jay L. Paxton—and the Superintendent of the

Portland Public Schools, elected school board members, potential funders, and most importantly, students who had participated in Beyond Differences.

Using Oregon’s largest city as a laboratory, Beyond Differences is preparing for the future, growing our program so that we can expand into additional communities in the years to come. This year, 30 Portland schools engaged with Beyond Differences, utilizing our curriculum and having their students lead our three national holidays.

Thank You, Portland, Oregon!

“ The scars on my arm are daily reminders of the bullying and social isolation I experienced in middle and high school. My arm never fully healed, just as my heart never truly forgot.”—Octavia Chambers,

Community ImpactSafer Internet Day Featured Beyond Differences’ Teen LeadersOur teen leaders are on the move! We were honored to have Adriana Weiss and Ruby Rawlinson, two of our Teen Board members, as featured youth leaders during 2016 Safer Internet Day, an awareness-raising national event committed to building a better Internet for young people. This year’s event—with the theme “Play Your Part for a Better Internet”—was held at Universal Studios Hollywood. Bringing together more than 350 youth leaders, educators, policy makers, parents, Internet safety experts and executives from the leading tech companies, 2016 Safer Internet Day focused not just on problems but solutions.

Ruby was one of the student leaders on the “Rejecting Hate, Building Resilience & Growing the Good Online” panel. She and the other panelists discussed ways they are taking their emotional well-being into their own hands and supporting their peers and how other young people can too. Ruby and Adriana staffed the Beyond Differences exhibit booth and shared our programs and best practices with conference attendees.

Community Recognition for Beyond Differences Laura Talmus, founder and executive director of Beyond Differences, was recognized by the Marin Interfaith Council alongside Reverend Jane Spahr, the founder of Spectrum, Marin’s LGBT rights center, and the first lesbian ordained by the Presbyterian Church.
