Stop the Violence is a club of local teens dedicated to making a difference in their home areas by serving as role models to youngsters who are at risk. Developing the basic idea for the club as they planned for the 89 Summer Program Of Broadway United Methodist Church, the original group began their agenda as volunteers in the Church's summer Outreach Program. According x:o Rucn Godsey, Administrative Director of Broadway's Summer Program, the newly-formed Stop the Violence Club participated in all phases of the summer's events. They taught classes such as Afro/American. History, Spanish, cooking, Arabic and preschool, worked one-on-one with kids to help them earn points in the summer's discipline program, and assisted adult volunteers in the various recreational schedules. Godsey says that Sheila Ficklin is an example of the outstanding contributions made to the Summer Program by the teen group. Sheila saw on the program's first day that preschool for ages 4 and 5 would be cancelled for lack of supervision. So, the Decatur Central sophomore took over, and with adult advice guided the group of.preschoolers. Her efforts were honored in October when Sheila was named Volunteer of the year by the Youth as Resources Project of the National Crime Prevention Council. Sponsored by Lilly Endowment, the project incour- ages youth to function as resources in their own neighborhoods. In order to better study issues effecting America's neighborhoods, club members traveled to Washington,, D.C. this summer. They discussed South African economic sanctions with* aides in Senator Lugar's office, visited a shelter for the homeless, and toured high crime - T __ by Paul^ Willham areas of the nation's capitol. Club President Randell Johnson says that Atlanta or New York are possible destinations for next summer. Meanwhile, reports Randell, club members will continue to provide -leadership role modeling*. They hope to do this through their assistance activities at Broadway, such as helping to unload food trucks at the Church food pantry, and youth events they will sponsor. In the planning stage are invitations to speakers from Planned Parenthood about safe sex, and from the Police Department regarding local gang issues.
