Do the Write Thing to End Youth Violence
I wanted to check back with this wonderful program I was involved with last year and discovered that their website now includes two minute recordings of winning essays written and recorded by past winners of this teen writing contest that focusses on reducing youth violence. They are well worth listening to!

"The Do the Write Thing Challenge gives middle school students an opportunity to examine the impact of youth violence on their lives."
"The DtWT program also educates adults about the causes of youth violence. Local community groups promote the program at the grassroots level so that teachers, school administrators, parents, coaches, and young people can bring youth violence into the open, where it can be examined and talked about in a constructive way. When students accept the Challenge, they become messengers for their own thoughts and ideas, which are ultimately more powerful than violence."
