Youth Outreach for Victims of Violence

The National Crime Prevention Council is sponsoring a program called Youth Outreach for Victims of Violence.  Citing statistics that youth are twice as likely to be the victim of a violent crime as adults, the NCPC wants to mobilize "teams of youth and adults to create public awareness campaigns in their communities".  The goals for each specific site are to:

- Form a team of youth and adults to design and implement a new camapign

- Identify a specific teen victimization issue that it will address

- Plan and implement a project to educate teens on the issue.  These projects may be radio     public service announcements, poster campaigns, websites, workshops, school assemblies, and so on.
