According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) report, youth violence is common. Homicide is the third leading cause of death for young people ages 10-24 and the leading cause of death for non-Hispanic Black or African American youth. Emergency departments treat over 800 young people for physical assault-related injuries each day.

Youth violence is costly. In 2020, youth homicides and nonfatal physical assault-related injuries resulted in an estimated $122 billion annually in costs, including medical care, lost work, and quality of life. This estimate does not include costs to the criminal justice system.

Conference Theme: "Good Education is the key to success," -- Joshua 1:8.

Objective: "Get your college education or the equivalent, solve conflict without violence, say no to drugs, crimes, violence, or bullying, and plan to be a productive member of society."

Date: Saturday, July 13, 2024, starting at 10 am and with Livestream.

Join the national campaign to reduce youth violence. For more information, visit our church website.
