Youth Violence Prevention Week: April 21-27

Join KCKPS, Enough is Enough and ThrYve as we work to bring awareness to violence during Youth Violence Prevention Week. Throughout the week, students involved in their schools Enough is Enough Student Advisory Committee will host different engaging events to bring awareness to their peers.

Here are a few events for the public:

• 3rd Annual KCKPD Community Peace Walk

  • April 20th from 11am-1pm

    • Participants are asked to gather on the southeast corner of 5th and Washington Boulevard in time for the 11 AM start. The short, 1/2 mile, walk is suitable for all ages and follows a level route north on 5th Street to Parallel Parkway. The walk will end with a rally and cook-out, as well as a vehicle display and information tables.

• "Violently Be... Yourself"

  • April 30 from 4pm-7pm at Washington High School
    • We invite the community to join us on April 30th from 4 PM to 7 PM at Washington High School for a special community event led by the Enough is Enough students at Washington, with support from the district. During this celebration, students will unveil their latest empowerment campaign: “Violently Be...Yourself”—an initiative that challenges youth to reject negative influences by boldly embracing their true selves with confidence and intensity.
      The event will feature a DJ, food trucks, dancing, and fun for the whole family. Come out and support our students as they take the lead in building safer schools and stronger communities!
