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

Effective October 2007, the NYVPRC shifted from its original focus on serving the general public to a more limited focus on serving local government and community leaders who are best positioned to plan, implement, and sustain community-wide youth violence prevention strategies. See About Us for more details about the new direction for the NYVPRC.

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.
