PBIS

"Believe it or not, there’s more than 30,000 schools in the United States today that are using school-wide PBIS programs to help students succeed."

Vision

We envision an active and connected community making Rainier Beach into a beautiful safe place to live, work, and play.

Program Description

We understand the stress and frustration of living in an unsafe environment, and spending too much time in an unsafe environment leads to bigger problems down the road.

At RBAC, we provide neighborhood safety assessments, trainings and tools for organizations and neighbors in Rainier Beach so they can create safe, positive spaces that prevent problems.

When you partner with us, you’ll master evidence-based practices for preventing the behavioral challenges you don’t want, and encouraging the ones you do! You’ll create a safe positive environment inside and out that builds people up rather than tears them down!

Our mission is to build a network of 100 organizations creating positive spaces for youth by 2025, because neighborhoods should build youth up.

How You Can Be Involved

There are plenty of ways for all members of the community to be involved with PBIS:

  • Put up a FREE yard sign!
  • Attend an upcoming Rainier Beach United Gathering. 11:30-1:30, 3rd Friday of

    2. Follow up meeting. Learn principles of Crime Prevention Through
      Environmental Design and Positive Behavioral Supports, and get
