The Butterfly Effect
February 1 - 29
The #ButterflyEffect is a month long social media initiative taking place in high schools across South County. Students follow our #butterflyeffect challenges by checking #butterflyeffect calendars posted in each school or keeping up with our youth instagram page @dvrcyouthsquad daily. Every post with any of our social media accounts tagged and using #butterflyeffect will be entered into a drawing for free dinner and a movie at South County Commons.

We want to hear your ideas! DVRC’s Student Advisory Council is open to high school students (14-18 years old) wanting to learn more about the agency, give input on events and presentations, talk about fundraisers and how to get your schools more involved in ending violence.
The Advisory Council will meet four times over the school year, totaling about 6 hours of participation. This Advisory Council is perfect for students doing community service hours or as a part of their Senior Project. We are happy to discuss school or volunteer credit as well.
We’re looking for energetic, engaged, and caring students who want to make a difference! Contact ytorres@dvrcsc.org for more information.
