She applied for grants, and after attaining funding, she developed a curriculum and reached out to her peers who shared her interest. Kids to Kids has reached more than 250 students, offering workshops, activities, dialogue, Q&A, and immediate action plans to diffuse highly-emotional or angering situations. Allison has learned to practice bravery in the midst of vulnerability.
