About the Event
The Youth Violence Prevention Summit is an event curated by the inaugural group of Agape Oasis’ Youth Violence Prevention Ambassadors (YVPA) in partnership with the staff at Oasis of Love Crisis Intervention Center.
Youth are experiencing and being exposed to various types of violence in their schools, families, and community. In response to the challenges they’re facing as a result, these young people are leading the charge in making a difference by partnering with subject matter experts to provide safe spaces to educate and empower themselves and their peers.
The Summit will include 4 workshops led by industry experts with a wealth of experience working with teens and young adults in the areas of interest selected by the YVPA, arts and entertainment performances, and a resource fair with representatives from Youth-Serving organizations.
This year's YVP Summit Workshops include:
- Unlocking Inclusion: How Intersectionality Impacts Relationships
- The Power of Yes and the Meaning of No: Understanding Consent
- Teens Talk Trauma: It’s Real, and How to Recover
- Spill the Tea, Bro
Through this summit, we hope to build a youth ambassador program to equip students with tools and resources to continue fostering better relationships among peers and administration.
