Today’s students are no strangers to violence, but many feel powerless to do anything about it. Like their peers, members of FCCLA are concerned about violence committed by and to youth in the United States. STOP the Violence - Students Taking On Prevention is a comprehensive, national FCCLA peer-to-peer outreach initiative that empowers young people to recognize, report, and reduce the potential for youth violence in their schools and communities.
Michigan FCCLA has trained individuals in the past through a multi-day training workshop. This year, we’re glad to be able to expand this opportunity for more chapters to participate through a video series provided by National FCCLA. FCCLA has recorded the training exercises on VHS tapes so a chapter can implement their own training. The videos are broken up into nine (9) sessions, taking up approximately ten class sessions (based on a 50-60 minute class period). The program is designed to combine in-class activities with the video presentation. The videos come with an in-depth instruction manual with information about coordinating the training, and instructions to complete the activities. If your chapter chooses to participate, a program CD and program video (separate from the training videos) will be provided for each chapter, and training materials provided for each participant.
There is no cost to your chapter to participate; however there will be a $50.00 fee if the tapes are not returned to Michigan FCCLA in good condition within three weeks. In order to participate, your chapter must affiliate with Michigan FCCLA before any materials will be provided. The training materials and CD are yours to keep.
