A New Direction for the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center (NYVPRC)

Effective October 2007, the NYVPRC is shifting from its original focus on serving the general public to a more limited focus on serving local government leaders and community leaders who are best positioned to plan, implement, and sustain community-wide youth violence prevention strategies. Audiences previously served by the NYVPRC are being redirected to resources from other federal sources that provide information and support formerly provided by the NYVPRC. See About Us for more complete details about the new direction for the NYVPRC.
