YouthAlert! (YA!) "Youth Peace" Program in CA

War Against Violence Corporation dba YouthAlert! (YA!) U.S.A. has its "Youth Peace" Campaign and "Youth Peace" Program/Youth Violence Prevention Education in full swing in the U.S.A. including in California and internationally. Our guiding philosophy is "Youth Peace First." That "Youth Peace" is the steppingstone for peace for all. In other words, word peace. We give youth the necessary information so that they can use their gift of "free will" and make "true choices" that benefit them. Eliminating, violence, bullying, and abuse (VBA) or the immediate or viable threat of VBA is the foundation of peace. We have found the best way to behave towards youth is with EQUALITY, which helps youth's self-esteem, and KINDNESS which helps youth fill respected. The number one priority we think youth have is to SURVIVE their youth. As adults, we meet youth HALFWAY to achieve all these peaceful goals. And there is no substitute for talking to youth directly and in person. That's what our charity/U.S. nonprofit corporation does.

“Youth Peace" Campaign - Update for California

“Homicide is a leading cause of death in kids, and rates are rising, study finds” (CNN, December 19, 2022)

The Campaign Advocates

To adults anywhere, we advocate for "Youth Peace” Policies with the United Nations and all 193 United Nations Member States. We also advocate for "Youth Peace" with local U.S. Municipalities, U.S. State Governments, and the U.S. Federal Government.

We have been successful in getting "Youth Peace" resolutions passed in the U.N. General Assembly and "Safe Schools" legislation passed in the U.S. Congress.

“YouthAlert! (YA!)’s advocacy on the prevention of conflict and violence, including your initiatives in the field of education, help to raise awareness among youth and motivate them to strive for the world we all aspire to. "We are grateful for the contribution your organization has made. " (Dept. of Global Communications, United Nations, NYC, 2023)

The Campaign Educates

To youth everywhere, we present our "Youth Peace" Program, a live, in-person school-based presentation for those twenty-six years of age or younger by a YouthAlert! (YA!) U.S.A. instructor. Age-appropriate programming. It's essential "Survive & Thrive" Skills Training for today's world. The Campaign is also a national Public Awareness effort.

We have instructed over 10,000 youth with a 97% favorable rating among instructors and students in U.S. public schools.

“I have observed YouthAlert! (YA!)’s presentations and concur with the teachers and students on their “two thumbs up” approval. The students appreciate the fast paced, media approach that respects them personally and accurately addresses the real life issues they confront daily” (Practical Living Specialist, Jefferson County Public Schools, Louisville, KY, 2018)

The Campaign Believes

All youth are “equal” in importance, meaning, value, and worth, without exception.

That it is youths No. 1 job to “survive” their youth.

It is all youth’s “destiny” to live a long and healthy life.

Violence, bullying, and abuse (VBA) are the “Head of the Snake.” It is the most prominent “root problem” for youth.

To truly “protect” and save “any youth,” we must protect and save “all youth.”
