West Side Youth Violence Prevention Coalition
The West Side Youth Violence Prevention Coalition (WSYVPC) was formed in 2009 through the office of College and Community Partnerships at Buffalo State College (BSC Partnership Office) in response to community requests for assistance to develop approaches to effectively respond to the high level of gang activity and violence occurring on the West Side of Buffalo, New York. The WSYVPC was organized by the BSC Partnership Office as a collaborative approach comprised of stakeholders from professional, academic, and community backgrounds (i.e., BSC educators and researchers, law enforcement, health officials, school officials, resource providers, elected officials, and community members) with the mission of reducing violence and the influence of gangs. Because the prevention of violence needs to be instilled at an early age, and gang recruitment often begins in pre- or early adolescence (i.e., prior to age 13, as reported by staff at School 18), the WSVYPC was in consensus that a grade school (K-8) should be a focal point of their efforts.
