Our Story
United UpStanders is a youth-led movement dedicated to encouraging kindness, courage, and action by standing up for others. It was started by Safari, a brave and passionate 10-year-old girl who wanted to make a difference after witnessing bullying at her school. She believed no one should ever feel alone, and that even one small voice could inspire a big change.
At just 10 years old, Safari began sharing her story and encouraging others to speak up, support one another, and become UpStanders. Her vision quickly grew into a movement of young leaders and compassionate allies committed to creating safer, more inclusive communities for everyone.
