THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS!
RAISED $2,745

Thanks to you and other generous donors, Halt Violence will employ an additional street mentor over the summer.

 

Halt Violence’s street mentor program employs young people in Columbus neighborhoods to de-escalate violence and guide at-risk youth toward productive, non-violent lives. Through discussions and mentoring, a street mentor encourages clients to think critically and logically about the consequences of their actions and how they can resolve the conflicts in their lives without resorting to violence. If nonviolence is going to be a way of life, it demands mentorship—someone who can provide the mental, emotional, and career skill training needed for a better future. Thank you for helping Halt Violence, a 2022 Columbus Foundation 5 Nonprofits to Watch, expand its mission of non-violence and education.

“You have to meet youth where they at. When you listen instead of looking down on em, you can address their real needs. It’s a positive domino effect that has proven to save lives and change minds on the streets of Columbus."
