In 1998, staff received nearly 550 inquiries regarding the program, and provided a variety of materials, referrals, and other information on NYN and youth-adult partnerships. YouthVision invites young people to discover creative ways to resolve conflict. A partnership effort among NCPC, CREnet, and Street Law, Inc., YouthVision challenges youth to detail how they might work with others to craft innovative projects to address conflict, prejudice, or violence in their schools and communities. NCPC then provides recognition and technical assistance to help turn the idea into a workable project. In 1998, more than 4,000 challenges were issued and approximately 60 proposals were received from more than 100 youth.
Crime touches everyone.
NCPC, through its training, technical assistance, programs, and publications, reaches a broad range of the population in the U.S. and even abroad. Those who sought out and received NCPC's help in preventing crime during 1998 deserve credit and recognition for working to prevent crime in America's communities.
