The Hope Squad program reduces youth suicide through education, training, and peer intervention.

At TOGETHER! for Youth, we are offering the Hope Squad program to schools in Chelan, Douglas, Grant and Okanogan Counties. We are now accepting applications for Hope Squad for Elementary, Middle School and High School levels. If your school is interested in implementing Hope Squad, please contact our NCW Regional Hope Squad coordinator at alyssa@togethercd.org.

What is Hope Squad?

A Hope Squad is a group of students nominated by their peers.

They meet regularly with trained Advisors to talk and learn about mental health.

Members are trained to note signs of distress and reach out, connecting peers to help and hope.

Hope Squads educate the entire student body to reduce stigma and change their school's culture.

In North Central Washington, we have a grant through Thriving Together, formerly NCACH (North Central Accountable Community of Health) to help support and fund Hope Squad in the Four County Region.

This grant helps fund the curriculum and training for our Hope Squad schools and Advisors.

In partnership with Thriving Together and Digital Media NW, we have developed a 3-part documentary series to help demonstrate Hope Squad in the schools and how Hope Squad has helped their school and students.

“I have had three children participate in Hope Squad. Other parents always ask me if they are too young or they feel too much pressure. I always tell them absolutely not. You can never be too young to learn how to be aware of those around you.”
