🧑 June is Gun Violence Awareness Month 🧑
Did you know gun violence is one of the leading causes of injury and loss among young people in the U.S.? Every day, lives are impacted β€” including those in our own communities.
At Youth Crossroads, we believe in the power of hope, healing, and action. That’s why this month, we’re wearing orange β€” a symbol of safety and support β€” to raise awareness and honor those affected by gun violence.
On Friday, June 6, join us for National Gun Violence Awareness Day by wearing orange. It’s a simple way to show you care and help start important conversations about creating safer spaces.
If you or someone you know needs support, our Project Peace Department is here to help. They offer resources, counseling, and a listening ear for anyone affected by violence or trauma.
Together, we can build a stronger, safer future. 🧑

We are so proud of all the hard work, teamwork, and dedication our youth put into this experience. The future is bright with leaders and entrepreneurs like these!
