Non-Violent
Youth Summit
The summit is an annual conference
to discuss sensitive topics like gang violence, sex trafficking, drugs, and
other topics that are of concern or relate to the lives of children and teens
participating in CWAH programs.
Most recently, Aaron
Morris, with the new release of his book, "From Gangs To God," captivated youths and adults with his life story. Tales of his inward struggle
to find acceptance and belonging in a world where the crime did pay and early
demise was considered eminent and customary kept parents and youths on the edges of their seats. One young man was so impressed he said, "Now that's a real
man."
2016 - Looking for conflict resolution, effective communication, and the pros, and cons of social media.

violence? What if your child is being bullied? What safety measures can you take to protect yourself? Who can we talk to? These were topics of discussion with Rev. Dennis
Haymon, Senior Elder Believers Temple Word Fellowship Church; Andre Smith, St.
Louis Police Department; and Jeffrey Taylor, Recreation Therapeutic Counselor.

to make a wrong turn from doing so.
