The Hallway Hero Project engages fathers and father figures in a volunteer school program driven to serve schools and students alike. We strive to call these Heroes to the front lines of their child’s daily life and give them an opportunity to connect personally, and in a unique setting. With this said, we are also passionate about aiding the need for additional safety in schools. Our Hallway Heroes are equipped to support schools in their safety for all students and staff. Our training coordinator and Board member provides a 4-part online session that teaches our Heroes about pre incident Behavioral Threat detection. His background with the Tennessee National Guard and his Executive Security program adds to the enhanced safety from our trained Heroes. We add to the much needed helping hand and extra set of eyes, providing a broad sense of school safety to both staff and students. With a current statistical “mom-mostly” volunteer system, we aim to enrich father-child relationships, fostering a deeper involvement of dedication to their child’s life and education- all the while providing a much needed steady and positive male presence in the lives of those children who lack this at home.
