About Us
The City of Reading Youth Violence Prevention Initiative is a collaboration of dedicated partners focused on empowering the community at large to become involved in the reduction and ultimate prevention of youth violence.
Our Mission is based on the philosophy that no one program, organization, grant, or approach can solve the problem but through our unified efforts, transformational change can be made in our city.
