SVP Denver’s 2012 Investees
Project PAVE
http://www.projectpave.org/
Project PAVE provides effective, culturally-relevant violence prevention education, victim identification, and counseling services in underserved Denver
communities. The organization's clinical counseling and violence prevention programs implement two effective strategies: awareness and outreach that prevent violence and often result in victim identification, followed by clinical counseling that addresses the impact of violence on victims and their families. All Project PAVE programs and services are bilingual, with bilingual / bicultural staff members providing Project PAVE services in the community.
Because Project PAVE partners with elementary, middle, and high schools throughout our community, many clients in our partnering schools are identified as victims of relationship violence or are referred by area youth service providers. Although domestic violence, teen dating violence and child abuse are found in all communities, Project PAVE focuses its resources on underserved populations. Seventy-six percent of clients have annual household incomes less than $25,000.
