"Connect for Respect" : Launching the Nicholas Xiarhos Respectful Youth Relationship Program

April 25, Tickets $10 adults, $5 students
Barnstable High School Knight Auditorium, West Main Street, Barnstable

Independence House is proud to announce the launch of a new youth-focused educational program, promoting healthy relationships and violence prevention among high school students throughout Cape Cod.

The program, named for Nicholas Xiarhos, son of Yarmouth Police Deputy Chief Steven Xiarhos, and whose life was lost while serving our country overseas in Afghanistan, will operate under the umbrella of the Education and Prevention Program of Independence House.

This event will recognize the accomplishments of the BHS Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) Program. The MVP program, presented to students by Independence House, provides training through a structured curriculum on raising awareness and inspiring leadership around preventing violence, teen dating violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment and gender stereotypes. Students work independently throughout the school year on projects that empower them and raise awareness among their peers on these topics.

Tickets and information available at the Independence House office (508)771-6507, and through Barnstable High School by contacting teacher Mrs. Fay.
