Based on the success of Cohort 1, the decision was made to launch a second group. Cohort 2 began in the summer of 2006 and operates separately from the first group. For their issue they identified Teen Dating Violence as an important concern facing teens that was not being adequately addressed.

Still early in their planning process, the students decided that a media campaign would be an important component of making a difference. Dating violence is an issue that exists in the shadows - teens don't talk about it with adults. Through a media campaign, the students hope that students, parents and community leaders will begin to talk about it more.

In addition, the students are currently reviewing curricula that address healthy relationships and dating violence. They are also considering working with local partners to create their own curriculum that could be made available to middle and/or high school students.
