CYAV programs
At CYAV, we go beyond speeches and public statements by working directly with the youth, their families, and community members to implement tangible solutions.
Here are a few of the current programs we offer.
cyav student council club
In Collaboration with
Miami-Dade County Schools
The CYAV Student Council Club is a program that will be established in some Miami-Dade County schools and private schools throughout the county. We will encourage students to serve as community volunteers and increase awareness of the community and the value of appreciating life.
Each school will elect a President/Vice President and other officers for the club.
CYAV Student Council Club members are instrumental in the planning and execution of the community events hosted by the Community Youth Against Violence board.

getting to know each other at the dinner table
Developing Dialogue Between Parents
& Their Children
Getting to Know Each Other at the Dinner Table is designed to provide a catalyst for family bonding and strengthening, and to assist in improving the communication, solving family problems, understanding, and handling special family situations, and creating a better functioning home environment.
Graveyard
Therapy Program
Graveyard Therapy
Graveyard Therapy Program is designed for youth who are first-time offenders or ungovernable. This therapeutic method is designed to develop a mindset and to be a reality check for the consequences of violence and lack of self-control when presented with conflicts. Youth will be assigned to various cemeteries and will participate in the clean-up and maintenance of the gravesites.
