Every time a young person is harmed by violence, our nation's future strength and growth are jeopardized. We are losing our next generation of young people-our future community builders and leaders-to homicide at an alarming rate.

When the opportunities of our young people are curtailed by youth violence, we all suffer the negative and long-lasting consequences.
