Empowering Youth to Prevent Violence and Create Peace in School and Communities Since 1994
SAVE is a Columbus, Ohio nonprofit 501( c )3 organization confronting the challenging issues of youth violence. SAVE's mission is: "To empower youth, through results oriented programming services, to prevent violence and promoting healthy lives."
SAVE has three programs which aim to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors for at-risk youth that will enable them to not become a victim or perpetrator of violence. SAVE serves youth in grades 3-12 and our efforts focus on stopping the violence that occurs in schools and communities in this age group.
REAL TALK was created by the SAVESNet students at South High and Linden McKinley STEM Academy.
The book is a compilation of poems, essays and short stories and more that give encouragement, guidance and advice to middle school students or anyone facing challenges.
Copies are available for free to middle school students who live on the South side or Linden areas of Columbus. Other Columbus middle school students may also be able to receive a free copy.
