Allies In Action is an after school program provided by Lisa J. Keating through her nonprofit, My Purple Umbrella. Students explore, in depth, how and why to be Allies. Using experiential exercises, team building activities and art increase self-awareness, critical thinking and problem solving. Allies serve as stewards to the school and community. These critical life skills empower youth to be a part of the solution and have a direct impact on social, emotional wellness.
Lisa created and developed this curriculum as a result of her own leadership development training, work with local school districts as an advocate for gender diverse youth, and her own child’s experience with intimidation, harassment, and bullying.
