Program Overview
The Gun Violence Prevention Fellowship (GVP) offers young adults impacted by gun violence a platform to make a meaningful contribution to one of the most critical public safety issues facing our communities. Through hands-on collaboration with staff, mentors, and community partners, fellows will learn about the criminal justice system and help develop prevention strategies to combat gun violence. The program will culminate in a policy presentation to the District Attorney and his Executive Team.
