Kings Way International, Inc

We are a 501(c)3 community focused organization whose mission is to empower people for purpose so they can enrich the world around us. 

Our "Why Bully Me?" bullying prevention initiative is just one of the major ways we help families and communities break the cycle of bullying. By donating, you will help our operations and program budgets, by enabling us to pay our current staff, hire additional trainers, hire an assistant/social media person and provide our services at a reasonable to no cost for families in underserved communities.  We are able to reach different types of people and learners with a multi-layer approach using the following:

• My Bully, My Friend book
  
• Bully Stoppers and P.U.S.H. programs
• "Why Bully Me? stage production

As part of the initiative, we created our Bully Stoppers program to educate youth and parents on what bullying is and what it is not and teach life skills they can use in other areas of their life. The P.U.S.H. (Productive - Unafraid - Savvy - Heroism) ambassador program program is a follow up to the Bully Stoppers program comprised of graduating students who have been recommended based on the leadership skills they have developed or exhibit and the potential to train and mentor others. Our programs are interactive and focuses on developing life and relationship skills; the impact bullying has on your mental and physical health; identifying your self-worth and positive reinforcement as well as bridging the responsibility between the youth and the adults. 

The My Bully, My Friend book introduces the topic of bullying in a real and relatable way which can break the barriers and behaviors behind bullying. The book was used to develop the main program. That along with other resource are included with the program. To add another level of learning, our stage production, also named "Why Bully Me?", gives that visual thematic look at bullying that may occur in schools and at home from peers and adults.  These three components are used to reach many ages, races, backgrounds, and social statuses. Many people that bully may have at some point been bullied themselves. We want to break that cycle. 

One of our goals is to purchase a building that will allow us to house our programs and have theatre space to perform our productions. Incorporating the arts in such a difficult topic opens up so many other opportunities for youth and adults. They also find other skills and passions they didn't know were there. We have seen this over the years and we know expanding what we do will reach many more people.
