Fourteen-year-old Sarah witnessed extreme violence in her life - stabbings, gunfights, drug use and more.  She started working with a Project PAVE school-based counselor at Morey Middle School when she was in the 6th grade.  This year she is a freshman at East High, where she was able to smoothly transition to a new partnership with Project PAVE's counselor at East.

Project PAVE's collaboration with all three area schools together - Whittier K-8, Morey Middle and East High is in it's third successful year.

This revision closely aligns the scholarship program with Project PAVE's mission of empowering youth to end the cycle of relationship violence.
