We are excited to invite you to our 2023 SpeakUp! Event on Thursday, February 9, 2023 at
6:30pm. This event will be held at St. Katharine of Siena School. Please pre-register HERE.
SpeakUp! is a youth-driven, interactive program that brings youth, school adults, and parenting
adults together for real dialogue on the topics our students want to discuss. The number one
protective factor in a young person’s life is a positive relationship with a trusted adult. SpeakUp!
is committed to building supportive relationships between students and adults. SpeakUp!’s 2021-
2022 data showed 96% of participants plan to use what they learned at SpeakUp! to build
stronger relationships.
Impacts for Parenting Adults who attend SpeakUp! include:
Gain insight and an appreciation for youth perspectives and challenges
Learn from the experiences of other parenting adults
Practice skills to help listen to and support youth
See schools as partners in helping youth thrive
SpeakUp! is an opportunity for:
Students to become more self-aware, empathetic, and comfortable speaking up and to
strengthen relationships with peers and adults
School Adults to further build trusting relationships with youth and parenting adults
Our community to collectively create a culture of having courageous conversations and to
build supportive relationships
I encourage you to make SpeakUp! a priority. If you have previously attended, come again. The
conversation is always unique, and the results show the greatest impact for repeat participants!
Finally, thank you to our Student Leadership Team, Moderators, and School Facilitators, who
have taken the lead to make this event possible! We are proud to be a SpeakUp! school and hope
you can join us for this unique and insightful experience.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Crowley
