Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: The Preventing Violence Affecting Young Lives program

The Preventing Violence Affecting Young Lives (PREVAYL) program seeks to address multiple forms of violence impacting adolescents and young adults, particularly in communities with high rates of violence. The program requires recipients to implement community/societal level strategies and approaches that address multiple forms of violence impacting adolescents and young adults, develop or enhance a jurisdictional violence prevention strategic plan, develop and implement an evaluation plan, develop a sustainability plan, and participate in a multi-sector coalition. In addition, this funding will address risk factors such as social determinants of health (e.g., concentrated poverty, limited educational and employment opportunities) and racial inequity (e.g., structural, systemic, and institutional racism). The application deadline is May 1, 2021.
