Since 1991, as mentors, youth leaders, counselors, case managers, intervention specialists and violence interrupters, we at Youth Alive, have worked to help violently wounded people heal themselves and their community. Our mission is to prevent violence and create young leaders. We believe that young people growing up and going to school in the city’s most violent neighbourhoods, possess the power to change the city for the better. We meet our clients where they are, at home, in school, at the hospital bedsides of young shooting victims, on the streets of our most dangerous neighbourhoods. Youth ALIVE! saves lives though violence prevention, intervention, and healing.
