Child Youth Violence Prevention Unit

Our Program provides funding to community-based initiatives across the state working to prevent youth violence.

Our focus consists of educating and implementing interventions that prevent and/or address the overlapping root causes of all forms of violence (risk factors) and promoting factors that increase the resilience (protective factors) of youth, 10-24 years old.
