One week can change lives. That's what we believe Youth Violence Prevention (YVP) Week will do –give our youth a different outlook on being and belonging. There's a movement happening throughout the City of Mobile and it's about making every young person a YVP champion, which means courageous and influential in pushing for a community free of gun violence. Our faith is in God to lead and guide our efforts to make our city safer.
Youth Violence Prevention Week is July 17-23, 2023. The finale is the YVP Day of Prayer and Worship Music Fest with Casey J. It takes place Sunday, July 23 at 6 p.m. at Mardi Gras Park (104 S. Royal St.). This event is intentionally designed to create an atmosphere of community unity and spiritual uplift.
Casey J is a Stellar Award-winning and Dove Award-nominated singer, songwriter, and producer from Atlanta, Georgia. From the #1 Billboard Chart topping single, "Fill Me Up" to other hits like, "I'm Yours", "Let it Be Known", and "If God", Casey leans into the power of God's Word to heal, to restore, to deliver, and to set free.
YVP Week is part of the Mobile Police Department's Operation Echo Stop. Its mission is impeding violence and improving perception.
This event is free. Bring the entire family.
