Is there evidence that the Safe School Ambassadors program works?
Yes. This program is based on the most current research in positive youth development and violence prevention. See The Research Base. A full research study is underway, qualifying Safe School Ambassadors as a “Promising Program” under Safe & Drug Free Schools guidelines. Implemented in schools nationwide, it has generated trend data that shows it to be effective in reducing cruelty and violence, and improving the climate on a campus, which directly impacts academic performance, staff morale, and budgets. See The Evidence.
