February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Nicole Massey, Family Refuge Center Director of Community Education, and a few of her colleagues visited students at James Monroe High School on February 8th and February 15th. Mrs. Massey spoke with students about safe dating practices and how to stand against sexual violence. Students were provided resource materials and helpline contacts. If you are a victim of dating violence, you may call the FRC crisis hot line at 844-340-9101.
At HOBY, high school sophomores explore their leadership potential through our inspiring leadership development programs. State Leadership Seminars are three-to-four day residential programs, typically held on a college or university campus. Virtual Leadership Seminars are two-to-three day live online programs that allow students to participate from the safety of their home without the need to travel.
Regardless of format, HOBY Leadership Seminars are highly interactive programs, following our leadership development curriculum which allows students to discover leadership from a personal, group and socially responsible perspective. Student “Ambassadors” from across their state participate in State or Virtual Leadership Seminars between April and June each year, building a network of positive community change-makers and a wider network of HOBY Alumni. After each seminar, HOBY alumni are challenged to complete 100 hours of community service within the next year as a way to put their passion and newly built leadership skills into action. For more information, visit hoby.org. If you wish to participate, please see the school counseling office by February 4th. Applications for the FBINAA Youth Leadership Program (YLP). The YLP is limited to 62 students, ages 14-16, from around the world who are rising high school sophomores and juniors. The program offers qualified students the opportunity to participate in an eight-day program of leadership development (typically held at Quantico). Additional information on the program can be found in the attached packet.
