RESPECT RETREAT®
9th, 10th or 11th Grade
A day for students to experience what school would be like if everyone was respected, and to challenge them to respect themselves and others.
“Many students have spoken about how that day affected them. Students shared how they now want to include others more or how they have realized that their comments might hurt others. Hearing this allows us to know we are doing the right thing when we bring in Youth Frontiers.”
