NYC Youth Moving Forward Against Hate

The NYC Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes (OPHC) leads this educational initiative, which focuses on engaging students across New York City in meaningful conversations about hate crimes, biases, hate, diversity, and the importance of standing up against all forms of hate.

Recognizing that youth are the foundation of our communities, OPHC is committed to enlightening and empowering them; starting at the elementary level throughout high school; to become informed and active participants in the fight against hate. By creating safe, inclusive spaces for dialogue and learning, this initiative aims to cultivate compassionate, confident leaders who promote respect, equity, and unity within their schools and beyond.
