The day started with youth from various schools getting off their buses and forming lines to get checked into the Summit. Followed by a Continental Breakfast and a General Session. During that general session youth were provided with a welcome and some brief remarks from Community Health Network, the Mayor’s Office, and IMPD Chief of Police. Then everyone took a Pre-Poll, were provided with logistics for the Summit, and given general instructions on how the day would go. After that the first Break Out Sessions began and students were separated by the workshops they had previously chosen. The workshops were; Bringing the oasis to the desert!, Conflict Resolution/Management, Educational Justice, Programs for Reducing Violence, the Past and Future, Should I Tell?, Writing for Social Justice, and Youth Entrepreneurs. The first workshop lasted a hour and ten minutes. Then youth had a brief passing period. Followed by the second Break Out Session which consisted of the same workshops and only lasted a hour and five minutes. Next another brief passing period. Followed by another General Session that included Lunch, a Post-Poll, and Tabletop Action Plans. Lastly was Wrap Up and Dismissal where everyone was thanked and the youth from various schools boarded their buses and left.

4th Annual STVI Christmas Store

20161206_19324420161206_192651Caring Place, located at 2901 N Post Rd sponsors the Christmas Store to families around the city of Indianapolis.  STVI was blessed to have had 70 of our families participate in the Christmas holiday store. Thanks to Pastor Chad Temple of The Caring Place, youth from age 3 to 12 were able to shop at their Christmas store at Washington Square Mall on Saturday, December 8th.

The youth purchased gifts for their family members and walked away with some items of their own. What a wonderful time to have had the opportunity and we look forward to 2019.
