In this program, youth who have had experiences with violence learn how to be reporters on youth violence. Taught by professionals in colleges and universities, LOVE youth learn the basics of journalism, photography and broadcasting. Using these skills, LOVE youth discuss, write about, photograph and film issues relating to youth violence. LOVE youth use these texts to create a youth-centered newspaper (ONE LOVE), books, (LOVE Works! (1998), and The Courage to Change: A Teen Survival Guide (2001), as well as Photo and Writing Boards that are taken into presentations to create discussion and raise issues around youth violence. The result is an inside look at violence from the very youth who have been there and what they are doing to create change.
