Celebrating Diversity Celebrating Community Celebrating Peacemaking
The SAVE Awards is an annual event to honor youth ages 9 -18 the whom have completed violence prevention training and created a violence prevention artistic presentation about the types of violence they face and peaceful ways of resolving conflict. The event also also honors adults in the community who have dedicated themselves to advocating for the health and well being of youth, peace and nonviolence.
The evening is highlighted by an array of original presentations by youth. They tell their stories of dealing with violence, teach how to solve conflicts without violence and how to be resilient when faced with the experience of violence. Drama, dance, video, poetry and song create an evening of inspiration and is a testament of the strength and wisdom to our community's youth.
The SAVE Awards Premiere will be held on Tuesday, May 3, 2012 at the Lincoln Theater, Columbus, Ohio at 7:00 pm. For updated event info, go to the Contact Us page and sign up for our email list.
