About The Farley Project
The Farley Project is a 501c3 love, kindness and leadership nonprofit organization, with an eight-week program that touches upon bullying. The charity is named The Farley Project as homage to the junior high school where the charity founder, Elissa Kravetz, was bullied. It was also the very place where her spirit started to expand and understand that we are all equal and we all deserve peaceful, loving experiences in our communities at large. During our program, we discuss topics that focus on self-love, kindness, positive self-worth, conflict resolution, active listening, and more. We work with a wide-range of students from middle school to high school, with the aim to impact their lives in the most positive and powerful way possible, by focusing on oneself and others.
