Breaking Down the Walls is designed to be a blend of grades, but mostly targets the middle classmen. At a standard high school, we recommend 15% freshmen, 35% sophomores, 35% juniors, and 15% seniors.
Having the older students blended with the younger students provides the right amount of maturity and leadership to make the program successful.
We do not offer single grade level programs.
How are you keeping students safe during COVID-19?
Our team will work with each individual school to understand what restrictions are in place leading into your event. We will ensure the facilitator is prepared and will adhere to the local guidelines.
Is there planning my team needs to keep in mind?
Yes. A logistics PDF will be sent via email 6 weeks in advance sharing all the details for planning. We recommend a team of at least 2 - 3 adults and a few student leaders to help with all the pre-program details.
How does the schedule work?
We give your planning team a mock schedule to use to prepare for the program. Our team is flexible on start/end time and will help you design what works best with your campus timing.
What type of space is needed for this activity?
We request access to the gym for the program.
You can host the student leader training in the gym, cafeteria or other large open room on campus.
How many staff members can participate?
We require at least 3 staff members to be present at all times, but would encourage as many staff members to participate in a workshop as possible.
We do ask that if a staff member plans to attend, they attend the entire workshop day. We build a high level of trust in the room and want everyone in attendance to feel comfortable with the least amount of disruption as possible.
