Abstract

This paper describes a literary and service based violence prevention program for secondary students at-risk of dropping out of school. The teenagers read out loud picture books to elementary students and facilitate discussion about the stories that deal with conflict. The program promotes self-efficacy for the secondary students and models positive behavior to the elementary students.
