This document outlines principles and goals for an innovative anti-violence youth program. The program aims to center the experiences of marginalized groups and use an anti-oppression framework. It seeks to build relationships based on harm reduction, trauma-informed practices, and youth input. The space is intended as a confidential safe haven where basic needs are met, participants can access services along a spectrum, and self-care and safety planning are emphasized through skill-building.
