OUR IMPACT
With 65% of people being visual learners, our video-based approach makes a lasting impact – shifting mindsets and sparking real change in K-12 schools. Since launching in 2015, hundreds of thousands of students have been empowered to do what is right, not what is easy in everyday situations.
WE'LL LET THE DATA SPEAK
Since 2021, Be THE Voice schools across the state have reported a notable drop in student misbehavior, as evidenced by a significant reduction in both in-school and out-of-school suspensions (see graphs below).
And in Georgia’s fourth largest school district, the 28 schools involved in our program experienced a substantial decline in bullying incidents from 2021 to 2023.
Compared to the 82 schools not in the program, bullying incidents in BTV schools decreased
-
95% in elementary schools
-
77% in middle schools
-
91% in high schools
Thanks to its success in Fulton County Schools, the district is doubling participation in the initiative this year. This growth is a true reflection of the effectiveness of our peer-led platform and its seamless implementation.

“Be THE Voice is more than a program. It’s a culture changer that can ignite a kinder, more compassionate and inclusive environment led by students. In my opinion, BTV should be in every school! We’ve tried everything else, why not bet on our kids to inspire change!”
SHAWANNA ARNOLD
PRINCIPAL, C.H. GULLATT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
“Our students come to school with a variety of needs – one being social and emotional support. Many students exhibit unkind behaviors because that is often what they see around them. They experience a great deal of trauma and have much to be angry about. BTV is a breath of fresh air. It gives us a common language to talk about bullying and how we can be kind to one another.”
