About Us
The Anti-Bullying Club was founded in October 2019 by Sydney Jo Washington. She saw a need to bring awareness to bullying because of an incident she witnessed at her school to another student. Anti-Bullying Club (ABC) was created to provide awareness and advocacy for students across America who may witness or experience bullying. We stand up for those who are not able to stand up for themselves. We provide bullying prevention education and advocacy by creating community service projects throughout the year and supporting local and statewide anti-bullying nonprofit organizations.
