The Students Together Opposing Prejudice (S.T.O.P.) program is a comprehensive initiative designed to foster inclusivity and combat prejudice among middle school students. Implemented over a seven-week period, this curriculum is facilitated by high school students who have undergone leadership training. The program employs an array of engaging games, activities, and peer discussions to instill in participants the ability to identify, challenge, and effectively respond to stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. By nurturing a well-rounded understanding of diverse perspectives, S.T.O.P. empowers young individuals to forge meaningful connections with those who differ from them. The program aims to develop participants into future leaders and model citizens.
