---------
One evening back in 2002 a group of concerned parents and citizens got together to figure out what they could do to put a stop to the increasing bullying problem in schools. What started as a conversation with some hope and a lot of dedication turned into 15 years of servicing the Greater Norwich Community.
Our goals have changed throughout the years. In the beginning we worked to introduce new and clearer anti-bullying legislation (and succeeded! See CT Gen. Statutes 10-222d) along with hosting forums in schools to educate students and teachers on bullying prevention. In more recent years we have sought to act as a type of community center for the city offering little-to-no cost programs for youth and families - especially during off times from school where students are often left to their own devices.
Some of the programs and events we have created in the area are:
**World Youth Day - an annual event celebrating the diversity and creativity of the youth in our area. It is an outdoor street festival filled with food, music, games, performances and it is always free.
**Youth & Democracy Challenge - a program where youth hosted candidate forums for local, state and federal legislators
**Summer Jam & Learn - created in conjunction with Norwich Youth & Family Services we offer a summer program for at risk youth where they spend their days meeting with local business and organization owners as well as having fun.
**Buddy Benches - An ongoing campaign between Norwich Bully Busters, Overhead Door of Norwich and Norwich Rotary Community Core, that was inspired by Christian of York, PA, to put a hand-painted bench in every school that gives students a place to sit, relax and make a friend. We have heard again and again that the benches are promoting kindness and friendship between students. So far we have over 235 benches placed in schools all over Southeastern Connecticut.
Everything we have accomplished is due to the dedication of our members and community partners. We are a non-profit organization that exists solely on donations and goodwill. We are able to provide our services and programs at little-to-no charge because of these donations. Every year on evening before our Annual World Youth Day Celebration we hold a Pasta Dinner to honor select community partners and members but to also raise funds to keep us going into the next year. This dinner is also a large part of how we pay our yearly insurance fee.
