Established in 2011, Proud to be me believes that being proud of who we are, is a basic fundamental quality necessary in today’s youth in order for them to contribute to a world that is filled with compassion, empathy and kindness. Youth with high self esteem are less likely to be victimized, are less likely to grow up to victimize others and are more likely to have a positive impact within their communities.
We raise funds for community resources, organizations and programs that help empower and educate youth in our mission towards inclusion and anti-bullying. Together we can have a positive impact and help create a community where all are accepted.
