The Youth Violence Prevention Research Center seeks to influence the social context of youth in Louis
YVPRC (Youth Violence Prevention Research Center) seeks to influence the social context of youth in Louisville through the implementation of a three-year social norming campaign. Our campaign seeks to cultivate a positive racial identity and foster community dialogue around difficult issues such as racial and social justice. In doing so, we hope to raise critical consciousness in an effort to promote racial justice and reduce youth violence.

We are devastated by the passing of TreyVon Neely. He has been with YVPRC from the beginning and was an instrumental member of the community. He was a well-known advocate for youth violence prevention, and we will treasure his charismatic advocacy forever.
Please keep his family and loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time.
Rest in Power TreyVon ✊🏿
