The College and Community Partnerships Office and the Center for Health and Wellness are coordinating the West Side Youth Violence Prevention Task Force (WSYVPTF). The task force was formed in 2009 to address the problem of younger children becoming involved in gangs and includes a diverse group of stakeholders utilizing an evidenced-based environmental prevention strategy to address the issue.
Buffalo Public School 18 was selected for conducting a demonstration project. There are approximately 20 different languages spoken there and few students have English as their primary language. It is vital that materials be translated into the predominant languages. We are looking for Buffalo State faculty or staff, credentialed as translators, who are interested in helping to translate materials for the task force. Please contact the Partnership Office at ext. 5444/4132 for a list of languages and for more information.
