What is Project EMPOWER?

Project EMPOWER is a grant-funded project that was established to provide collaborative services to the neighboring communities of the College of William & Mary. The mission of Project EMPOWER is to provide school-based prevention programming through collaboration and community outreach, and promote the social-emotional development of children. Through this process, we also aim to enhance the professional development of school psychology and school counseling graduate students.

During the 2005-2006 school year, we will be working with the 8th grade students at Toano Middle School through a bullying prevention program. This is Toano Middle School's third year of involvement with Project EMPOWER.
