Be a Friend Project?

The BAFP is a "kids for kids" nonprofit supporting student Upstanders (from kindergarten through college) working to end bullying, save lives and build kinder communities using empathy, education and the Arts.

School and community-based Kindness Clubs celebrate and cultivate acts of bullying prevention and kindness activism.
