"STOP the Violence--Students Taking on Prevention" is a program designed to involve students and address school violence at its core from the peer-to- peer perspective. Developed by members of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), the program empowers young persons to recognize, report, and reduce the potential for youth violence. The program's goals are to: (a) Empower students with attitudes, skills, and resources to make their schools safer; (b) Engage young people in efforts to prevent youth violence; (c) Use peer education to increase youth awareness of and involvement in strategies that reduce youth violence; and (d) Reduce the potential for youth violence in schools with trained FCCLA members. FCCLA members who are trained in the "STOP the Violence" program help promote the need for students to report troubling behavior; collaborate with school and community officials to address youth violence; and, develop and implement local action projects aimed at reducing the potential for violence in their school.
