What is the purpose of STOP the Violence?

The purpose of "STOP the Violence" is centered on creating a peer-to-peer outreach initiative that empowers young people to actively participate in preventing youth violence. This program aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to address issues of violence within their communities. By fostering a sense of responsibility and leadership among the youth, it encourages them to engage with their peers and influence positive change regarding violence prevention.

In contrast to other options, while they may touch upon related themes of youth behavior and community involvement, they do not encapsulate the specific goal of empowering young individuals to prevent violence through direct action and peer engagement. This focus on empowerment and the peer-to-peer dynamic is crucial in addressing the root causes of violence and promoting safer communities.
