About this Event
Celebrate Black History Month: Youth Violence Prevention Forum
Join us on Friday, February 27, 2026, for a powerful and inspiring Youth Violence Prevention Forum in honor of Black History Month. This dynamic community event brings together leaders, educators, advocates, youth, and families to address the challenges impacting Black and Brown youth โ and, more importantly, the solutions that move us forward.
The evening will feature guest speakers, an engaging panel discussion, youth performances, and community vendors, all centered on prevention, empowerment, healing, and collective action. Through honest dialogue, lived experiences, and community resources, we will explore how history, culture, and advocacy intersect to protect and uplift our youth today.
This event celebrates the past, empowers the present, and commits to protecting the future.
