October is an important month for the members of the Women\u2019s Leadership Project at Fort Hays State University.<\/p>\n

With Domestic and Dating Violence awareness month, the Women\u2019s Leadership Project has partnered with Tigers in Service for a service event with Jana\u2019s Campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Women\u2019s Leadership Project is thrilled to be partnering with Tigers in Service to host the Jana\u2019s Jewelry event,\u201d said Brooklynn Bracelin, student coordinator of the Women\u2019s Leadership Project. “We are continually striving to bring awareness to the issues of dating and domestic violence, and since October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we find it so important to bring light to these issues and support other organizations working towards the same goal as us. We can\u2019t wait to host this event with Tigers in Service while making an impact on our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bracelet making begins at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 25 in Cody Commons by Mondo\u2019s on FHSU\u2019s campus and is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

The service event includes bracelet making with Tigers in Service and the Women\u2019s Leadership Project to help Jana\u2019s Campaign and its events. Each event they go to includes a box of bracelets with a resource card that includes resource numbers, warning signs of violence and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cJana\u2019s Jewelry is an important event for Tigers in Service to be a part of because it raises awareness for more than just service opportunities,\u201d said Kaiti Pell, an FHSU student. \u201cIt allows our organization to be part of something even bigger than strictly service hours and events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jana\u2019s Campaign is an organization that not only promotes prevention of violence, but also helps to prevent relationship and gender violence. Jana\u2019s Campaign helps to not only educate those in community, high school and college settings, but also promotes programs that prevent dating and sexual violence, along with stalking.<\/p>\n

The campaign has reached nearly 60,000 elementary and high school students to help spread awareness, but organization officials know more needs to be done. With the help of students and community members, Jana\u2019s Campaign hopes to have enough resources to give everyone a resource card.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Women\u2019s Leadership project states that this is a real-life service project that benefits real life students in the state of Kansas, and now leading to other states,\u201d said Christie Brungardt, founder of Jana\u2019s Campaign.<\/p>\n

Brungardt is excited for the project and hopes it turns out well to help get the organization\u2019s name out into different settings.<\/p>\n

The Women\u2019s Leadership project not only is participating with Jana\u2019s Campaign, but also with the Red Flag Campaign for the ninth year in a row. With posters and flags spread throughout the Quad and around Memorial Union, the group hopes to raise awareness and be able to talk about what the red flags mean.<\/p>\n

The WLP also invites people to attend the Clothesline Project at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 24. Participants will have the opportunity to decorate shirts to help spread awareness about violence with men, children and women. The shirts will be hung in the Quad to represent those who have been victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
