Breaking Down the Walls
Breaking Down the Walls is designed to engage every student in a grade or on a campus to create a positive and supportive campus climate. It promotes mental wellness, acceptance, and cohesiveness among students and the community.

Students learn to interact with a cross-section of their peers, and find that they do not live in isolation, but rather within a community that depends on each of its members to thrive. Students work side by side, learn from one another, and become active participants in the positive development of their campus.

"I saw a huge difference in connection prior to and after the students completing Breaking Down the Walls. It was great to see the students connect both to each other and to staff members. It was an awesome experience and the students come out of it feeling like they were home here at our school."

In Calaveras County, Breaking Down the Walls is implemented campus-wide at high schools and middle schools.
