7Today's educators face a critical challenge that goes beyond the curriculum: they must nurture appropriate social and emotional behaviors by providing youth with the conflict-resolution and leadership skills necessary for modern life. The Leadership Program's Violence Prevention Project delivers on that need with an approach that engages, informs, and empowers its early adolescent audience.

The Violence Prevention Project Leadership Skills curriculum has been implemented in over 5,000 classrooms for over 150,000 Title 1 students--and has earned distinction from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention as the country's top program of its kind. This guidebook includes thirty-seven lessons complete with step by-step instructions that make facilitation easy and accessible. Help your students get to the core of conflict and transform into leaders in your classroom and community.
