National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center

A Federal resource for professionals, parents and youth working to prevent violence committed by and against young people.

Violence Prevention Topics

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 key local government leaders and community leaders who are best positioned to plan, implement, and sustain community-wide youth violence prevention strategies. See About Us for more complete details about the new direction for the NYVPRC.

Since the transition of the NYVPRC to this new focus began in earnest only in October 2007, at this point, it is anticipated that the redirection will be completed by the end of 2008. Among other things, this transition will include evaluating existing topics for their relevance to the new mission of the NYVPRC and for their currency. Topics determined to be relevant to serving local government leaders and community leaders—current to within the last 4 years—will be kept. All other topics will be removed from the site. This process will commence January 2008 and, it is expected, will be completed by the end of March 2008. Thereafter, new topics consistent with the new mission of the NYVPRC will be added to the site and updated on an ongoing basis.
