WHAT IS AN UPSTANDER?

An Upstander is anyone who is aware of injustice or bullying behavior and safely steps in to help. Anyone of any age can be an Upstander!

INTRODUCING:

Help NOVA honor our community Upstanders by nominating someone you know who demonstrates Upstander behavior! Five winners will receive a gift certificate and the nominators of the winners will also receive a gift certificate!

Nominations for 2024 are now closed – Be sure to join us at Upstander Day for the awards ceremony!

NOVA’s Upstanders program was featured on Action News! Community Journalist Nick Iadonisi visited West Rockhill Elementary School in Pennridge School District to showcase the program. Check out the segment:
