The Kailua High School (KHS) Safe Schools Task Force is a group of students from KHS who formed on their own in 2005 in hopes of working to decrease fighting on and off the KHS campus. The Safe Schools Task Force is made up primarily of KHS leadership students and additional KHS students who are interested in promoting safety. The group meets with APIYVPC staff once every two weeks during 1st period. Some of the activities the Safe Schools Task Force has been involved in recently include critiquing the APIYVPC’s research instruments and processes, providing advice on analysis of APIYVPC data, and working with APIYVPC staff on various advocacy projects to prevent youth violence. In particular, the Safe Schools Task Force played a major role in helping to plan the M&M Ohana Night - Movie and a Message, held on May 5, 2007, at KHS. In the future, the Safe Schools Task Force will continue to work with the APIYVPC to plan research activities and empower the community.
