Project PAVE

Project PAVE was established in 1986 in response to a number of violent incidents in the Denver area. Community leaders came together to create a framework for intervening early in the lives of youth and families exposed to relationship violence and to promote alternatives to violence in youth relationships. PAVE has a long history of providing innovative, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive services for survivors and their families in our community. It is the promise of our mission that youth who receive services and education are less likely to continue cycles of violence later in life. Our legacy bears witness to the realization of our mission in the lives of thousands of participants.

Project PAVE’s mission is to empower youth to end the cycle of violence. The purpose and vision of Project PAVE is to provide effective, culturally-relevant violence prevention education, victim identification, and counseling services in under-served Denver communities.
