DESCRIPTION
Research from top bullying prevention experts report that youth are more likely to listen and respond to other youth in educational interventions and will better serve as role models. NVEEE Peace Ambassadors are leaders and co-presenters of the anti-bullying program presented in schools and agencies. Current monthly trainings with them are great to reach a much larger audience, a conference once a year will be much more effective and invaluable to the participants amongst their peers.

Los Angeles natives, Exist Elsewhere, are teaming up with NVEEE on the unique REACH 2014 high school tour. Exist Elsewhere has a strong belief that artists have a responsibility to influence and communicate with their fans. The tour will span 14 cities in 6 states over a three week period, launching in Los Angeles, where they will begin their first live performance/lecture of the series. Each lecture is set to include a customized version of NVEEE's “Be Upstanding” Bullying and Harassment Prevention Program that has been designed specifically for the tour. Directly following each performance students will have a chance to hear the band’s take on overcoming bullying through an intimate Q&A segment. The campaign and what it stands for is close to band leader Noah Benardout's heart. A teen himself, he has seen firsthand the effect that bullying can have, both in his personal life and through experiencing the battle with bullying that his younger sister has experienced. His passion for outreach and prevention, and utilizing music as a tool to take a stand, is a major reason why !
