Welcome to the Fall River Youth Violence Prevention Initiative!
The Fall River Youth Violence Prevention Initiative is a collaboration of dedicated partners focused on empowering the community-at-large to become involved in the reduction and ultimate prevention of youth violence in Fall River. Our Mission is based on the philosophy that no one program, organization, grant or approach can solve the problem of violence.

“Only a collaborative expansion of various violence prevention efforts will enable Fall River to move closer to achieving that shared vision of peace for which every community strives. With the support of Mayor Paul Coogan, State Senator Michael Rodrigues, State Representative Carole Fiola, State Representative Alan Silvia, State Representative Paul Schmid, other similar initiatives in the greater Fall River area, and citizens like you, we will be able to make our vision for Fall River a reality.”
