Youth Violence: Prevention vs. Rehabilitation

IREX and the International Youth Foundation (IYF) are pleased to invite you to the first Youth in Development Work Group event for the 2009-2010 season. Experts in youth violence will present a debate on where we should invest our development resources—in programs that address root causes of youth violence, or programs that mitigate its effects and rehabilitate youth. Representatives of domestic and international initiatives will encourage us to look at youth violence as a global phenomenon and challenge us to seek transformative solutions.

	When:		Thursday, October 1st, 12:00 - 1:30pm
	Where:		IREX 2121 K Street NW Suite 700 Washington, DC 20037
	RSVP:		By September 25 to econstantaras@irex.org
	What to bring:		Please bring your lunch and be prepared to defend your view.
	Who should attend:		Practitioners, researchers, funders, and others with experience and/or interest in youth development programming.
