I launched Madison SOS (Speak Out, Sister!) at age 15, in the spring of 2007. I wanted to do something to address several issues in my community of Madison, Wisconsin relating to young women: poor self-esteem, political apathy, and little knowledge of how they as community members could affect grassroots change. A high school student myself, I decided to focus on the high school audience as my primary constituency.

TEAR, which stands for Teens Experiencing Abusive Relationships is an organization fully run by teens. Our main goal is dating violence prevention through education. Since society often overlooks the fact that teens can experience abusive relationships, our mission is to educate society about the complexities and seriousness of violent dating relationships. We carry out this mission through presentations, distributing flyers and other materials, and participating in events such as fairs and charity events.

A volunteer educational and recreational organization. I am working on getting it incorporated as a nonprofit organization. I believe education is the key to success in the future. The program is for 2nd thru 8th graders who parents pay the $60 dollars enrollment fee and a add 10 for each additional child. People ages 15 and up can volunteer with me at this organization. Students will be teaching their fellow peers in a fun and educational way. To learn more about SEEC, contact me at 662-623-0638
