Teen Voices Against Violence

Teen Voices Against Violence is a group of teens from Middle Tennessee who serve as the Coalition's youth advisors. This group began in February 2008, and assisted in the development of the Promoting Gender Respect curriculum for middle school boys. The group is now working on a variety of projects that they themselves have initiated.

Each fall, the group seeks new members. If you are a high school student in Middle Tennessee and are interested in participating, please download this an application by clicking here, and return it to the Coalition.
