Urban Networks to Increase Thriving Youth

Since 2005, UNITY has worked with cities around the country that are committed to preventing violence. We collaborate with departments of health and public health, multisector community safety coalitions, mayors' offices, and other municipal leaders through the UNITY City Network. The members of our network are committed to:

Preventing and reducing community violence and other forms of violence

Promoting and engaging a public health approach to violence prevention

Sustaining a local planning and implementation process that includes multi-sector collaboration

Supporting practice and innovation to collectively advance the field and shift the paradigm on violence, and what cities can do about it
