Cool People, Not Old People

P.A.V.E stands for Prevent Assault and Violence Education. We go into middle schools with high school students and we talk about what violence and assault is and what we can do to stop it. We also bribe the children with candy so that they will answer questions, and pay attention. The PAVE Coordinator goes in 3 days of the week and the last 2 is when the high school students are brought in.

A lot of the information is incorporated in through skits to keep the kids' attention and also have a bigger affect. Also, college students are brought into high schools to do the same thing. We use students to teach students because the older students are looked at as the cool people and no one wants to listen to old people.
