City Of Aurora Develops New Programs Aimed At Preventing Youth Violence
As program manager of the Aurora Youth Violence Prevention Program, she says it’s her responsibility to advocate for youth who aren’t otherwise seen.
“Throughout my career working within the school and criminal systems, I’ve seen the need to ensure that youth have not just the resources, but the support and advocates in place to ensure that their voice is being heard. We know that in order for us to see the reduction in victimization and delinquency and violent crime we need to implement not just short term but long-term strategy.”
The program takes a four-pronged approach to remedying the issue. Firstly, it suggests a collaborative effort to make sure community groups are working together to address impacts of violent behavior. “Four hundred thousand dollars of that will go toward intervention funding and $100,000 toward prevention funding,” said Amparan. “We know that a lot of our youth have very specific needs and we want to ensure that we are partnering with community-based organizations to address those needs.
