AVA is proud to be a part of the solution to stop violence. Our Safety 1st school-based advocacy program—which operates at Maynard Jackson and Carver STEAM Academy high schools, and Luther J. Price middle school—offers guidance and support at key developmental stages, especially in environments with high social and economic disparities. Through this program, students gain access to skills and resources to overcome trauma and foster healthy relationships, lowering their chances of becoming involved in at-risk behavior.

Safety 1st involves three key components:

🟣Onsite support
🟣Victims to Victors (V2V)
🟣Safe Dates
