The goal? Actualization of "The Beloved Community.  The Plan identifies violence prevention solutions that can become models for creating safe places to live.

The goal of the MAVPP Peace Plan© is to present the best of what is nationally know in youth violence prevention and the best of what Atlanta's service providers and communities are contributing, recognizing that there are multiple paths to the same destination.
