Pink Shirt Project

Empower youth with their very own positive project!

The Pink Shirt Project empowers youth to conceive of and implement positive projects in their schools and/or communities. Based on the ideals embodied by Pink Shirt Day, this program also promotes kindness, diversity and inclusion.

How it works: Facilitators (teachers, counsellors, etc) review the project goals and facilitator guide, and each student receives a manual that guides students through a five-step process to work cooperatively and brainstorm solutions to issues relevant to them.

The facilitator helps students with the following steps:

  1. Youth reflect on inclusion, cooperation, diversity and kindness.
  2. Participants then work together in a creative process to develop unique solutions that meet challenges or issues in their schools and communities.
  3. Groups decide on a topic and develop a plan to address the topic.
  4. Youth implement their project, with guidance by the facilitator.

Through the Pink Shirt Project, youth across Canada are being motivated to design and implement positive projects that make a difference!

The benefits are many. Not only will these projects help make your community kinder, youth will have a feeling of accomplishment for their work, and be more likely to engage in actions that positively impact their surroundings. Contact us to learn more.

“I like the idea of the Pink Shirt Project as a focus for our class. Everyone can study kindness.”

Sebastien

“This is a powerful and brave initiative, empowering kids to be confident and believed in the importance of their Pink Shirt Project.”

Cordelia

“This links to the work our Grade 6 class has been doing and the awesome conversations really helped the students solidify their commitment to kindness and being more inclusive. The students coordinated our school’s Anti-Bullying Assembly and brought some of the ideas from the Pink Shirt Project to life in our Assembly Performance. It was awesome to reiterate what we work on every day in our class by being kind and working together to remove barriers for others.”

Ms. Erin Koebel

“the project emphasized the contributions and thoughts of others. I enjoyed the 30 circles challenge and the way it connected to kindness, diversity, ingenuity and fun. The discussions afterward really highlighted the great part of how our individual thoughts merge in a collective group goal. “
