Youth Programming
Youth Programming engages youth with mentorship, life skills, apprenticeships, and activities, focusing on their overall well-being and fostering resilience to prevent involvement in violence.
Overview
Youth programming plays a crucial role in a comprehensive community violence prevention strategy by engaging young people with targeted, impactful activities. These programs meet youth where they are, taking a whole-person approach that includes mentoring, apprenticeships, life skills development, and overall well-being.
By providing positive outlets and resources, youth programming helps guide young individuals away from violence, fostering healthier decisions, personal growth, and stronger community ties. These initiatives not only address immediate needs but also help build long-term resilience and positive futures.
