STEP UP Home

The goals of the Step Up program are to:

give people the ability to recognize events where they should step up

give them the skills to effectively intervene

Aurora volunteer Robin A. talks about the Step Up Program during her Zander Award for Outstanding Student Leadership acceptance speech at the 2013 President's Student Leadership and Service Award ceremony

Have you ever been concerned about a situation and wanted to help but couldn’t?

You’re not alone! The situation is more common than you think, and it is called the BYSTANDER EFFECT.

This site will provide you with techniques to become an ACTIVE BYSTANDER. To learn about how to STEP UP and get involved email us at stepup@umn.edu, or go here and request a program.
