Elementary, Intermediate/Middle, & High School Assemblies

At such a pivotal time in their lives, elementary, middle, and high school students are seeking identity and belonging. They are in great need for authentic, relatable advocates to help them conquer this monster called bullying. Both self-inflicted and peer-inflicted bullying have stripped away students’ confidence, and aim to keep them in unhealthy cycles of self-hatred and isolation - never fully realizing their potential.

As statistics show, our students are facing more negative odds than ever. Apathy, mental illness, peer pressure, and other factors have drained them of identity, motivation, and hope. The Bullies to the Back assembly sets out to create what Nathan Maynard and Brad Weinstein call an “empathy-driven culture“ in Hacking School Discipline: 9 Ways to Create A Culture of Empathy & Responsibility Using RestorativeJustice (Maynard & Weinstein, 2020).

Orlando Rivera and his creative team are pleased to support and partner with your efforts to improve school culture with our anti-bullying assembly - Bullies to the Back. Sponsored by his nonprofit, iReach(established 2024 to promote healthy families and communities), the Bullies to the Back Tour has impacted the lives of countless students across the state of Kansas. We bring a high-energy assembly, in which Mr. O and Mrs.Chancia Harris empower your students to discover their value and voice. This will all be done through a presentation of emotional, mental, and social wellness development. Our approach is to improve upon the data-based systems already operating within your institution, and eliminate deficits in social-emotional learning for your students.

So far, we have witnessed this tour empower schools like Central School (an alternative learning institution in Atchison, KS), Olathe Northwest High School, Piper High School in Kansas City, KS and have even collaborated with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In addition, we have spoken to students at Atchison High School through our partnership with Jobs for American Graduates of Kansas.Both young men and women have been transformed by the power of love, transparency, and confidence promoted at Bullies to the Back. They have since been commissioned to share their stories of overcoming with others. As a result, student morale and self-esteem have increased. Those attending these assemblies - staff, faculty, parents, and students - have become more involved in a community in which their personal growth and purpose can be cultivated. The aim of the tour is to revive the youth in our communities to deliver one message - that everyone has access to true identity, confidence, and freedom from whatever bullies they face on a daily basis.

Our Mission

Through musical presentations, spoken word poetry, interactive games, and authentic testimonials, theBullies to the Back School Tour revives and commissions young men and women to share their stories -resulting in more transformation for others.

Our Vision

The Bullies to the Back School Tour produces bold, compassionate story-tellers, who empower others to take ownership of their voice.
