Here are some additional ideas for possible service projects...

• Coordinate a community-wide conference on violence prevention with workshops and recognition awards for those working to reduce violence. Use this opportunity to establish a local community roundtable to address youth violence in your community.
• Promote and encourage students to begin planning for National Youth Service Day.
• Paint a peaceful mural over graffiti on the school or around the community.
• Create a skit or lesson plan to present to your school or other schools/community agencies to spread the violence prevention message.
• Organize a service project where all students and members of the community can come together and make a large impact in the school or community.
• Sponsor a "First Aid" event where students learn first aid techniques and participate in simulation activities that would prepare students to help others in times of need.
• Coordinate a fingerprinting afternoon at the local elementary school. Work with local law enforcement and parents to fingerprint young children.
• Institute an "Adopt-A-Student" program where new students are paired with older students.
• Offer babysitting services and/or donate stuffed animals to the local domestic violence shelter.
