CBS Colorado recently highlighted the vital work of CSPV’s Youth Violence Prevention Center – Denver, which faces the risk of losing critical funding. The Center recently hosted a screening of Breaking the Cycle, a documentary showcasing community efforts to stop youth violence. Local youth leaders like Annecya Lawson, who became involved after losing a friend to gun violence, shared how the program brings hope and support to neighborhoods like Northeast Denver. Research from CU Boulder shows that between 2016 and 2021, violent crime arrests among young people in Denver’s Northeast Park Hill dropped by 75% – underscoring the importance of sustaining these prevention efforts.
