Take Back the Halls: Ending Violence in Relationships and Schools

DePaul faculty and students are collaborating with a community-based organization, Taking Back Our Lives, to plan and implement relationship violence prevention programs with teen girls and boys in the Chicago Public Schools.  This past year, 11 DePaul students worked at three Chicago Public high schools while enrolled in a two-quarter seminar at DePaul.  DePaul students partnered with domestic violence professionals to deliver a violence prevention curriculum that culminated in a community event designed to eradicate violence against women. This project aims to empower teens to become community leaders and active participants in the movement to end violence.
