In June 2011, the San Francisco Mayor’s Office, Department of Children, Youth, and Their Families, Violence Prevention and Intervention Unit has published a thirty-nine page report titled “Youth Violence Prevention Initiative: Local Action Plan”. We encourage you to download and share the document with your organization and service providers regarding this very important matter which address the City’s funding strategies and recommendations for community violence prevention and intervention efforts targeting youth and young adults between the ages of 10 and 25. The report outlines violence amongst teens and young adults, many of which are  African-Americans and Latina/os from our community.
