Upward Bound Students Make a Difference in the Community


The Hope College TRIO Upward Bound students recently participated in the launch of the new DELTA Project of Ottawa County website. DELTA is a project of Lakeshore Alliance Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (LAADSV) in partnership with Center for Women in Transition. The DELTA Project of Ottawa County is dedicated to preventing intimate partner violence before it happens. Eighteen high school students participated in a six-week Teens Preventing Dating Violence class through the 2009 Hope College TRiO Upward Bound Summer Session. The students developed the teen dating violence and active bystander information, created a prevention pledge campaign, and enhanced the site with other special features. This website will serve to provide valuable information about preventing teen dating violence and domestic violence. This website meets one of LAADSV's major goals of reaching the community with a prevention message and helping to equip others with resources and information to prevent such abuse before it happens. More information about the DELTA Project can be found at http://delta.aplaceforwomen.org/.
