Anti-Bully School Assembly TEEN TRUTH JC Pohl

School Assembly

Inspire Courage. Strengthen Connection. Transform School Culture.

School assemblies have been around for decades — but few deliver the lasting impact needed to truly shape a positive school culture. The TEEN TRUTH: School Assembly changes that. More than a presentation, it’s a transformational experience that empowers students to find their voice, build empathy, and take ownership of their campus community.

With a presence in over 8,000 schools and a reach of more than 12 million students, TEEN TRUTH has become the nation’s most trusted partner in building stronger, healthier school environments. Each assembly combines award-winning, student-filmed content with dynamic motivational speakers to create an authentic, high-energy experience that inspires students to speak their truth and take action.

Tailored to your community’s unique needs, every TEEN TRUTH assembly addresses critical issues such as social-emotional wellness, student leadership, social media awareness, kindness and anti-bullying, campus unity, and drug and vaping prevention. The result is an unforgettable program that sparks meaningful conversations, strengthens relationships, and ignites a movement of positive change across your campus.

Ideal for both middle and high school audiences, TEEN TRUTH assemblies provide an inside look at the real challenges students face today, while showing how a connected community can become a stronger community. Students leave feeling seen, supported, and motivated to be the difference — not just for a day, but for a lifetime.

TEEN TRUTH Leadership Summit Builds School Culture

Leadership Summit

Empower Student Leaders. Address SEL Issues. Inspire Lasting Change.

With over two decades of proven success, the TEEN TRUTH: Leadership Summit stands as the premier solution for school culture development in schools, districts, and cities across North America. Backed by award-winning content, dynamic speaking performances, and engaging workshop-style sessions, this student-centered event helps schools uncover the real issues impacting their campus climate — and empowers students to lead the charge in creating positive change.

More than just a leadership workshop, the TEEN TRUTH: Leadership Summit redefines what it means to be a leader. Students move beyond planning events and spirit days to truly understand the social-emotional challenges shaping their peers’ experiences. Through powerful collaboration, they develop tangible, student-led solutions and design a yearlong action plan that builds connection, inclusion, and pride throughout the campus community.

Ideal for both middle and high school audiences, this 2–3 hour experience gives students the tools, confidence, and purpose to become catalysts for change. Each summit is designed to inspire a unified movement that strengthens school safety, elevates student voice, and revitalizes school culture from the inside out.

TEEN TRUTH's SEL Curriculum RISING UP

Mentoring Curriculum

Develop Peer Leaders. Extend SEL Guidance. Build Resilient Students.

The TEEN TRUTH Mentoring Curriculum offers a proven peer-to-peer model that equips students with the tools and confidence to guide younger peers while fostering a stronger, more connected school culture. Focused on resilience, social-emotional learning (SEL), and leadership development, this program transforms students into mentors who not only support their classmates but also serve as positive role models across campus.

Through structured training, student mentors learn how to identify the challenges younger students face, teach critical social-emotional skills, and create safe, inclusive environments where every student feels seen and supported. This approach multiplies the impact of traditional guidance programs, extending mentorship and support throughout the entire school community.

Schools that implement the TEEN TRUTH mentoring curriculum see improved mental health outcomes, stronger relationships, and greater unity. Unlike short-term programs, our curriculum provides a sustainable framework for peer leadership that can be applied year-round, empowering teens to lead by example and inspire lasting change.

At TEEN TRUTH, we know that strong school culture begins with the adults on campus. That’s why we offer professional development workshops and conference keynotes led by school culture expert JC Pohl, designed to equip administrators, teachers, and staff with the tools and strategies needed to foster safe, connected, and resilient learning environments.

These engaging sessions address the real challenges educators face every day, including resolving conflict, improving communication, supporting student mental health, and building strong campus relationships.
