National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention

 

The purpose of this project is to provide training and technical assistance to localities participating in the Forum and to assist the Forum Coordination Team (FCT) with the development and support of new Forum sites. The Forum was created to build the capacity of localities across the country to more effectively address youth violence through multi-disciplinary partnerships, balanced approaches, data-driven strategies, comprehensive planning and the sharing of common challenges and promising strategies. The Forum has the following overarching goals that serve as benchmarks of success: 1. Elevate youth and gang violence as an issue of national significance; 2. Enhance the capacity of participating localities, as well as others across the country, to more effectively prevent youth and gang violence; and, 3. Promote systems and policy change by expanding engagement, collaboration, and coordination in addressing youth violence at the national, state, and local levels.
