Our Story
The Youth Violence Prevention Council received its 501(c) 3 status in 1996, after the problem of gang and youth violence found its way to Redding in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. According to the Redding Police Department, Redding had 20 violent youth gang-related felonies in 1994. This prompted a county-wide effort to rid our communities of youth gangs. Lead by aggressive law enforcement, cooperation from the schools and community-based organizations and agencies, Redding and Shasta County were able to gain the upper hand.
The focus of the Youth Violence Prevention Council involves the coordination of primary education on youth issues and youth advocacy, all aimed at keeping our county youth gang free and safe for all citizens, young and older alike.
Today, due to the decrease in gangs in Shasta County, the Youth Violence Prevention Council has been able to focus and provide multiple services to youth and families in other areas of need.
The programs offered through the Youth Violence Prevention Council include:
Youth/Peer Court
PlusONE
Youth Fire-Setter Prevention & Intervention
Shasta Youth Leadership Camp
Triple P – Parent Discussion Group
Graffiti Eradication Hotline and support
Fresh Start for Youth Endowment
Safe School Planning
Public awareness and public education on youth issues
Advocacy for youth issues on the local, state, and national level
Along with our programs, we have been able to raise funds for YVPC through the Shasta Mud Run fundraiser, which helps promote a safe and healthy community, encourages teamwork and cooperation, and provides a family friendly event for all ages.
