Remember Nolan Project

Be a Catalyst for Lasting Change.

Not One More STUDENT.

Imagine an auditorium filled with students who arrived knowing nothing more than the topic was hazing prevention and that they were required to attend. Now imagine that same group, 400+ students, in rapt attention. Not a smartphone in sight. You could hear a pin drop.

Scanning the crowd, you see many students visibly moved. Following the screening of the Breathe, Nolan, Breathe documentary, the students’ attention turns to Kim and TJ Burch for a brief presentation followed by an open Q & A. One by one, students tentatively ask questions of Kim & TJ who share their experience, and the real-life ripple effect of Nolan’s death – with a powerful, but approachable grace that also conveys their deep empathy for the challenges these students face.

For Educators

Remember NOLAN Project.

As teachers, coaches, administrators, counselors, and more, you see first hand, the many social challenges students face on a daily basis, and the impact those challenges can have on their mental and physical health. Incidents of hazing, which often include the consumption of alcohol, are on the rise. Yet, the educational resources currently available to you often fail to produce the lasting change needed to address the physical, psychological, and social emotional harm caused by hazing. To meet this need, Remember Nolan Project offers a program specifically for educators. Our program will help you to identify not only the different forms of hazing and bullying, but also the tell-tale signs a student may display when being hazed or bullied. As educators you cannot protect your students 24/7. However, our program addresses this by enabling you to plant the seeds that will empower your students to act responsibly when they see someone in trouble outside an educational setting.

Giving Educators the Tools to Lead.

In one 45-60 minute multi-media experience, available in-person, online, or hybrid sessions, students are given the language and tools to ensure this senseless loss doesn't happen again. Through this one event, students learn specific actions they can take to stay safe, be responsible, and make good decisions. We recommend including all adult leaders from your institution, such as:

  • Teachers and administrators

  • School Counselors

  • Coaches

  • Adult leaders of youth programs

  • Volunteers

Creating a Culture Change.

Our program's impact is changing the way young adults look at and act in situations that involve hazing, bullying, and alcohol consumption. After experiencing our program, students are no longer willing "sit on the sidelines" when they recognize their peers are in danger. Through testimonials, student surveys and documented cases of lives saved, our program inspires students to take action.

Everyone at the meeting said your talk was phenomenal and the best and most impactful they’ve seen. Many students were talking about the presentation and Nolan all day yesterday, heading into the weekend. They heard the message loud and clear!
