What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Youth Violence Outreach (YVO) Initiative
The Youth Violence Outreach Initiative provides free trauma-informed services (including individual therapy, group counseling, and mentoring) to Philadelphia youth who have experienced family and/or community violence. The program serves youth ages 8-22, with a special emphasis on young victims of color, a population who are more likely to be exposed to violence yet less likely to have access to services that can effectively address trauma.
This initiative promotes social justice by reducing the stigma around trauma and by providing supportive services that build resiliency and hope for youth in our community that have been impacted by violence.
AVP Counseling Center
AVP's Counseling Center offers free, professional counseling to adult and child co-victims of homicide and those who have been traumatized by other forms of violence. This includes, but is not limited to, clients who have experienced domestic violence, aggravated assault, or robbery.
