A $2 million grant will help the city of Aurora’s efforts to reduce youth violence. The money was awarded by the Department of Justice’s Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative, a federal investment in local programs.
Standing Against Violence Every Day, or SAVE, is Aurora’s violence-reduction strategy that focuses on teens and young adults who are at high risk for violent victimization and offending.
The program uses proactive measures to address the root causes of youth violence.
