ABOUT US
PreventViolence.org, a web-based resource for advocates,
policymakers and the media, is funded by a grant to i.e.

The archives consist of statistics, fact sheets, polling
data, reports and multi media materials created for “Keeping
Youth Safe” (a California statewide videoconference in 2004)
and “Choices for Youth” (a public education campaign which
ran from 2001-2003).
Keeping Youth Safe: Strategies That Work To Prevent
Violence, a statewide dialogue on youth violence prevention.
“Keeping Youth Safe” was a 2004 statewide videoconference
that coincided with the release of a new voter poll
conducted by TCWF grantee i.e. communications, which
revealed that California voters of both political parties
and all state regions strongly believe violence prevention
and safety programs for youth should have a high priority
for funding. “Keeping Youth Safe” was broadcast live on June
3, 2004 from Sacramento and Los Angeles and viewed at
community meetings held in Fresno, Los Angeles, Redding,
Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San
Jose and Santa Barbara. More than 1,300 community leaders
(policymakers, law enforcement officials, health
professionals, educators and youth advocates) participated
in a discussion about programs and public policies that
prevent violence against young people.
Choices for Youth
Choices for Youth was a public education campaign (from
2001-2003) funded by a grant to i.e. communications, LLC
