Engaging Your Community

Everyone can play a role in preventing youth violence. Our community wheel provides ideas for youth, teens, parents, educators, local officials, business leaders, faith-based groups, and so many more. You’ll find resources on how to organize awareness activities leading up to and during NYVPW.

Learn how you can show your commitment to protecting today’s youth and building safer communities. And get your community united, and excited, about preventing youth violence!

Becoming a Youth Leader

Youth are essential partners in NYVPW, leading the change toward safer schools and communities. SAVE Promise Club empowers youth and gives them the tools and training they need to be successful leaders. They influence their peers in a positive way, resulting in a more caring and connected school community. Through SAVE Promise Club, youth organize around important lessons learned through our programs. Together, students are preventing violence – now and in the future.
