  "Both of these programs are the first opportunity the Wesley Shelter has had to do prevention work," said Kim Gauss, executive director of the Wesley Shelter.
  ...
  "They picked the areas of greatest need with existing programs," Gauss said.
  
  The majority of sexual assault victims in Wilson County last year were between the ages of 13 and 15.Fourteen of the victims did not know their assailant, which often leads to more violent crimes.Five of the reported rapes were gang related, Gauss said.
  
  "When faced with those staggering statistics, the board and staff determined that primary prevention should become a priority for our programming in addition to the agency's historical focus on crisis response," Gauss said.
  
  The grant funding will allow the shelter to perform prevention work in three residential areas of Wilson, including portions of downtown Wilson, where violent crime occurs the most.
  
  Wesley Shelter staff plan to partner with church leaders in high-crime areas and will engage children and their parents or guardians in how to prevent violent crimes, including domestic disputes and sexual assault, from occurring.
  
  "We're going to be recruiting people from the neighborhoods to (take part in) the programs," Gauss said."We're going to help them learn what's happening in their community and give them the tools to do something about it."
  
  The programs will teach children different ways to prevent sexual assault and will allow guardians to identify ways to make their neighborhoods safer.
  
  "Part of it is helping the parents understand the affects of assault on children," Gauss said.

  ...
