Heritage Panel
Empowering Youth to Create Change In Their Schools

The Heritage Panel Program is a fun, yet intensive, two-day training for area middle and high schools during which a diverse group of 25 to 30 students and 2-5 teachers or administrators make a commitment to discouraging bullying, harassment, and discrimination at their school.

Over the course of the training, teachers and students will discuss important, but often ignored, issues that affect their school experience, such as cliques, race, gender, cultural backgrounds, and exclusion. Deep discussion, fun games, and team-building exercises bring the group closer. 

Following the training, Heritage Panelists share what they have learned through presentations given to their classmates. Heritage Panelists share their personal experiences, and a teacher-moderated discussions with the audience follows. Students are challenged to think about how their actions affect school culture, and what steps they can take to change their school for the better.

Many schools have a Heritage Panel Club that meets regularly. Heritage Panelists become positive role models within the school and are often sought out by other students as confidants or mentors in dealing with issues at school. Presentations may also be given to an assortment of classes across grade levels and subject areas, as well as to the PTA and to community organizations.
"Heritage panel is an ideal way to empower middle school or high school students to be leaders in making their school a more welcoming, inclusive place. additionally, educators get crucial support and new tools to teach conflict management."
