RAISING YOUTH VOICES AGAINST VIOLENCE

AVV’s Youth Advocate Training Program prepares young people to lead change by teaching the roots and realities of family, domestic, and community violence. Participants gain tools to identify and address these issues while developing practical advocacy skills like tabling, event planning, partnership-building, and peer engagement. Our goal is to empower youth to become informed, confident advocates who take action and inspire others in their communities.

EDUCATING & EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH ADVOCACY 

"Our goal is to assist the youth with developing and strengthening a passion for community advocacy, as well as their critical thinking, public speaking, and community building skills."
