The Colorado Anti-Violence Program is excited to be home to a new project focusing on preventing sexual violence within and against LGBTQQ youth communities. The Youth Violence Prevention Project will be examining the root causes of sexual violence in order to create effective and lasting prevention strategies. Eleanor Dewey was hired in early August as Project Manager to begin the development of this three year program that will be launched in Denver and one other pilot location in Colorado.
With the guidance of a youth driven board, CAVP will implement a community readiness assessment in both pilot locations that will lead to the development of sexual violence prevention strategies. If you are a LGBTQQ youth and are interested in organizing this project, contact Eleanor for details.
