STOP (Students Taking on Prevention) the Violence was introduced at which National Meeting?

STOP (Students Taking on Prevention) the Violence was introduced at the July 2000 National Meeting in Orlando, FL. This initiative was part of a broader movement to engage students in violence prevention efforts and promote awareness about youth violence in their communities. The program's introduction at this meeting marked a significant commitment by FCCLA to address social issues affecting students and to empower them to take action.

The specific timing in July 2000 aligns with FCCLA's focus on providing leadership training, resources, and a platform for students to engage in meaningful discussions about their roles in preventing violence. This allowed members to not only learn about the problem but also to develop skills in advocacy and community engagement, which are crucial for effecting change. The timeline of this introduction is part of FCCLA’s ongoing efforts to respond to the needs and challenges faced by young people.
