Mission Statement
The North Carolina Youth Violence Prevention Center (NC-YVPC) supports the needs of youth and families by providing a seamless continuum of services to prevent future violence, support victims, and promote resiliency in coping with life stressors.
Description
In 2010, NC-YVPC was created with funding from the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Paul Smokowski, Ph.D. founded the Center when he was a Professor at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill’s School of Social Work. We were the only CDC-funded Academic Center for Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention to focus on rural communities.
Along with providing evidence-based prevention and intervention programs to youth and families, the Center has established a reputation of being one of the few nonprofits within the area to be affiliated with nationally known academic research institutions.
