Vermont – Anti Bullying Speaker

Vermont Anti-Bullying Speaker – Jim Jordan | JimJordan.ca

Vermont's Most Trusted Anti-Bullying Speaker

Jim Jordan, president of ReportBullying.com and the USA's #1 Anti-Bullying Speaker, has spent more than 17 years helping schools across Vermont and the entire United States build safer, more respectful communities — one powerful assembly at a time.

Vermont is a small but mighty state — home to nearly 90,000 K–12 students spread across urban centers like Burlington, Montpelier, and South Burlington, as well as rural communities nestled in the Green Mountains and along Lake Champlain. Despite Vermont's reputation as a progressive, tight-knit state, bullying remains a serious and persistent issue in its schools. Verbal harassment, physical intimidation, social exclusion, and cyberbullying affect Vermont students at every grade level and in every community.

The consequences are measurable and serious — impacting academic performance, mental health, daily attendance, and a student's long-term relationship with education. Jim Jordan's programs are built on the simple but powerful premise that when young people are empowered with the right tools and language, they transform from passive bystanders into confident, courageous upstanders.

Why Vermont Schools Need Action Now

Bullying does not discriminate by zip code. Vermont's schools — from small rural K–8 buildings to larger high schools in Burlington and Essex — all face the same fundamental challenge: students who are targeted, bystanders who feel powerless, and school cultures that struggle to shift. Jim Jordan's assemblies change all of that by creating a shared language and a shared commitment across every student in the building.

Vermont's close-knit school communities mean that social dynamics travel fast. One act of exclusion or cyberbullying can ripple through an entire grade in hours. Jim's high-energy, age-appropriate programs interrupt those cycles and replace them with something powerful: a culture of empathy, accountability, and peer leadership.

Cyberbullying & Social Media

Vermont students face online harassment daily. Jim's programs address real-world digital scenarios that resonate with today's tech-savvy youth.

Bystander Empowerment

Most students witness bullying but don't act. Jim turns reluctant bystanders into confident upstanders with practical, memorable strategies.

School Culture Transformation

A single assembly isn't enough — Jim's framework creates lasting school-wide culture shifts that administrators and teachers can build upon.

Mental Health & Inclusion

Jim addresses the emotional toll of bullying head-on, validating student experiences and building genuine belonging across every student group.
