<strong>The</strong> Advocacy Foundation, <strong>In</strong>c.<br />

Helping <strong>In</strong>dividuals, Organizations & Communities<br />

Achieve <strong>The</strong>ir Full Potential<br />

Since its founding in 2003, <strong>The</strong> Advocacy Foundation has become recognized as an effective<br />

provider of support to those who receive our services, having real impact within the communities<br />

we serve. We are currently engaged in community and faith-based collaborative initiatives,<br />

having the overall objective of eradicating all forms of youth violence and correcting injustices<br />

everywhere. <strong>In</strong> carrying-out these initiatives, we have adopted the evidence-based strategic<br />

framework developed and implemented by the Office of <strong>Juvenile</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> & Delinquency<br />

Prevention (OJJDP).<br />

<strong>The</strong> stated objectives are:<br />

1. Community Mobilization;<br />

2. Social <strong>In</strong>tervention;<br />

3. Provision of Opportunities;<br />

4. Organizational Change and Development;<br />

5. Suppression [of illegal activities].<br />

Moreover, it is our most fundamental belief that in order to be effective, prevention and<br />

intervention strategies must be Community Specific, Culturally Relevant, Evidence-Based, and<br />

Collaborative. <strong>The</strong> Violence Prevention and <strong>In</strong>tervention programming we employ in<br />

implementing this community-enhancing framework include the programs further described<br />

throughout our publications, programs and special projects both domestically and<br />

internationally.<br />
