Teens Preventing Dating Violence

This summer, we had the pleasure of working with eighteen high school students, participating in the Hope College TRiO Upward Bound Summer Session 2009. The students took part in a six-week Teens Preventing Dating Violence class to develop our webpage on preventing dating violence. They researched dating violence, created a pledge campaign, performed skits, and created Facebook and MySpace links to the website. The students wrote the content for the webpage section on dating violence and bystander skills. They used their talents to enhance the site with videos, music, statistics, and pictures. Thank you to all of the students who positively impacted our community and made this website possible. Class Snapshot
