OVP’s PEACE! Youth Fellowship is a peer-led healing centered initiative that aims to interrupt the cycle of community violence in East and South LA by providing at risk youth/young adults with healing supports and developmental opportunities. Youth impacted by gun and gang violence will receive a stipend to participate in a program that includes workshops on community violence intervention (CVI) and trainings on practical skills of their choosing. With a mini grant, fellows will implement a peace project and serve as community safety champions.
