FALL, 2001: Volume 6, Issue 3 Youth in Action Award Goes to Rachel Harrison
Rachel Harrison, who represents Baltimore Yearly Meeting on FPTs Coordinating
Committee, received a $1,000 award from Youth in Action for organizing
the introduction of the Alternatives to Violence Project to Ghana
(see PTN v3i2). An article
about her work was published in the Summer 2001 issue of Peace
Teams News. The awards are meant both to highlight important projects
and to reward young people who are devoting themselves to making
a difference as volunteer leaders. A council of young people reviewed
the applications. For more information on Youth in Action and lists
