Webinar to highlight success, history of life-changing Youth VIP program

22 Mar 2021     By Chuck Green, CYFS

The Interpersonal Violence Research Laboratory will host a youth-led webinar March 30 from 1 to 2 p.m. that will provide an overview of Youth Voices in Prevention (Youth VIP).

The event is free and open to the public, but requires registration.

The virtual event will highlight how Youth VIP participants were engaged, educated and empowered to become leaders in their community to prevent sexual and related forms of violence.

Youth leaders, parents and adult mentors from the program will discuss how and why they became and remained involved, and how Youth VIP has impacted their lives — and the lives of those closest to them.

Data on the outcomes of Youth VIP will also be shared.
