TPPB hosting 2nd annual Symposium on Youth Violence Prevention Initiatives

TPPB is excited to host the 2nd Annual Symposium on Youth Violence Prevention on Monday, December 10, 2018, from 11:30am-5:00pm at The College of New Jersey. You can find more information on the symposium here.
 
The goal of the symposium is to educate, empower, and build consensus around a coordinated approach to youth violence prevention. TPPB has developed a data-driven, participant-informed plan based on the National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention model over the past year. The 2018 symposium will highlight the goals, objectives, and strategies outlined in the plan. We have invited local organizations to present their current or upcoming initiatives related to the goals in the plan, and to provide networking and brainstorming sessions throughout the symposium. In addition, local youth will share their perspectives and ideas in multiple sessions.
 
The symposium is open to members and non-members alike. Lunch will be served. This event is free, but registration is required.
