The Maine Celtics Playbook Initiative is an anti-discrimination and bias-prevention program that inspires a dialogue on race, religion, gender, disability and sexual orientation and ultimately equips kids with the tools to intervene in challenging social situations. From South Portland Schools, Jose and Kaleb were lead trainers and Jensy and Jucelia were assistant ambassadors for the program. Together, the four led workshops with 25 middle school students addressing discrimination, bias and bullying. During these workshops, they were able to help middle schoolers navigate real-life social scenarios, build confidence, and strengthen their school communities.
