The Issue
Why Youth Violence Prevention Week?
DBI understands that prevention begins long before a crisis. By investing in civic education, leadership development, and policy literacy, we equip young people to advocate for healthier and safer communities.
YVPW centers the voices of students directly impacted by incarceration, inequity, and community violence — young leaders presenting informed, actionable solutions to decision-makers.
Social Determinants of Health in Louisiana
Access to quality schools & safe learning environments
Economic stability and workforce opportunity
Safe and affordable housing
Mental health services & trauma-informed care
Community safety and neighborhood investment
Transportation and access to healthy food
"
Too often, policies are developed without sustained input from the young people most affected by them. Youth Violence Prevention Week creates a structured, solution-oriented opportunity for leaders to listen, engage, and collaborate.
