A non-profit organization for bully prevention through music, the arts, and education
Bullying: an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally hurt another person, physically or mentally.
Bullying can happen anywhere. A cruel text message, being ignored or a physical harm can make you feel ignored and insignificant. At the Youth Unite you are valued! We want to hear your story and show you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
The Youth Unite reaches out to youth in the Stateline Area through music therapy programs and our visits to schools to present our Character Education Assembly. If you are a victim of bullying or other emotional trauma, we are here to let you know, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

The Castle has been very helpful to my clients. Through music and art, they have found a much needed outlet to express their feelings and emotions. I am grateful for the help and support provided by The Youth Unite!
