20th National Youth Crime Prevention Conference and International Forum, April 19-21, 2009, Orlando, Florida

The National Youth Crime Prevention Conference is a vehicle that recognizes the valuable contributions youth can make to the crime prevention effort. Youth Crime Watch of America (YCWA) presents this powerful conference, where youth and their adult allies can find inspiration, valuable skills, prevention knowledge, and national resources in the fight against crime, violence, and drugs. Challenging and motivating youth to make their communities and schools safer places is one of the most effective strategies to reduce delinquency and youth victimization.

Today, more than ever, there are no limits to what youth can achieve, especially when they are equipped with the right tools, the right plan, the right support, and the right attitude. Designed for youth ages 12–22 and the adults who work with them, this four-day event will challenge all participants to mobilize, to learn, to experience, to speak, and to act.
