NAACP combats gun violence through teen leadership program
The local branch of the NAACP hosted a program to give teens leadership skills for combating gun violence.
To combat gun violence in the community, last week the local branch of the NAACP and the political action committee held a program designed to help local teenagers build leadership skills.
During the program titled “Be an Exemplary Follower to be a Better Leader,” Sharbrye Lewis, a 2021 graduate of Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), gave participants an overview on leadership skills to combat gun violence. A roundtable discussion followed where students had the opportunity to discuss a number of topics. Participants were then split into smaller groups with other volunteers, while enjoying dinner provided by Rock-N-Nard’s, a local caterer. After dinner, participants gave a small presentation on ways to combat gun violence.
