Which program serves as a peer-to-peer initiative focused on youth violence prevention?

The program that serves as a peer-to-peer initiative focused on youth violence prevention is STOP the Violence. This program is designed specifically to empower students to take an active role in preventing violence in their schools and communities. It fosters leadership skills among youth and encourages them to be advocates for positive change, equipping them with tools to communicate effectively and work collaboratively to address issues related to violence.

STOP the Violence emphasizes peer-to-peer education, recognizing that messages from fellow students can be significantly more impactful than those from adults. By engaging students in the conversation about violence prevention and offering them the skills to create safer environments, the program fosters a culture of awareness and proactive intervention. This approach reflects the understanding that young people are often in the best position to influence their peers positively.

The other options, while also important initiatives, do not focus specifically on a peer-to-peer model as effectively as STOP the Violence does.
