What Is the Cincinnati Upstander Project?
The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center’s Cincinnati Upstander Project is informed by the positive psychology framework created by the VIA Institute on Character. Character strengths are the positive parts of your personality that make you feel authentic and engaged, and you can use your character strengths to become an upstander and make positive change. We are the only museum in the world to use the VIA Character Strengths as a lens to understand and inspire upstander behavior.
Our organization inspires and develops upstanders who exemplify the best of humanity through a robust line-up of public programming and events. The Cincinnati Upstander Weekend celebrates and uplifts the changemakers in our community. Join us, in partnership with Cincinnati Museum Center, for a weekend full of inspiring community engagement events recognizing celebrity upstanders and everyday heroes using their strengths to make positive change.
Anchored in the positive psychology of character strengths and informed by the lessons of history, our upstander leadership resources and educational trainings are used across corporate, nonprofit, and educational sectors to ground teams in shared values and celebration of differences and common humanity.
Through dynamic public art initiatives, high-visibility media partnerships, and a strategic omnichannel approach to storytelling, we are uniquely positioned to lift up and showcase upstander behavior. With the ambitious goal of transforming Cincinnati into a community of upstanders, the Upstander Project leverages a particular history to inspire cross-communal impact today
