What it reported doing in 2017
Founded in 2011, the great american no bull challenge is a leadership and social action organization that uses the power of filmmaking combined with social media to spread awareness and inspire change at the student level. No bull is powered by the voices of youth (ages 13-23 students) through short video documentaries that they write and produce. These videos created by and for youth have life far beond the video contest and campaign. They are the basis for sustaning the no bull movement through no-cost education (no bull academy), social media, and peer-to-peer engagements within schools, communities, and other venues, with a focus on visability and reach through social media.since the organization's inception, the no bull challenge has reached several milestones in expanding it's social media reach via twitter, vine, instagram and facebook. Students from around the globe create short films (2-5 minutes) or psa's (uner 1 minute) that inspire positive social change on important issues like: bullying, violence, drug/alcohol abuse, inequality, suicide, internet and gaming addition, glbt, obesity/body image, diversity and conflict. The no bull challenges global video contest recognizes top filmmakers and engages millions from around the world through social media outreach. The 2017 challenge drew significant attention at the youtube studios la, nationally and globally for its first-rate teen video awards where top video nominees received recognition for their creative accomplishments and their commitment to leadership and social action. In 2017 no bull reached over 23 million social media impressions, further spreading global awareness of it's mission.the no bull challenge distinguishes itself by capitalizing on its state-of-the-art digital platform, the power of peer-to-peer learning, and the far reaching influence of social media. While no bull challenge's video contest gets center-stage, it is ultimately the fruits of the creative works and efforts of the young men and women that provide the backbone for the educational mission of the organization. In addition to being viewed by millions, the top nominated videos, promoting leadership and social action are incorporated into no bull academy's online educational toolkit and resources. These are then made available (at no cost) for implementation into school curricula by teachers and counselors nationally and globally.during the 2017 campaign year, the no bull challenge continued to cultivate and strengthen its relationships with community partners - key national organizations dedicated to addressing compelling issues affecting today's youth and companies interested in promoting leadership and cyber citizenship. These included such organizations as fccla (family, career and community leaders of america), 4-h, glsen, healthcorps, i-safe inc., noys (national organizations for youth safety), pacer's national bullying prevention center, twitter, ysa (youth service america) among others. This coalition of partners was instrumental in helping no bull expand it's reach among millions of their youth members/constituents and their families.in 2017 no bulls spokespersons participated in school assemblies/rallies, conferences & events and organized no bull awareness events throuout the country, which garnered national visibility at various venues where youth congregate.the no bull challenge is a key conduit for high-impact global social grass-roots movements, benefiting students and those dedicated to promoting social action and leadership. No bull = change makers reaching millions.
