The Antelope Valley Violence Prevention Coalition is building a regional movement for safety and healing through a community-driven, trauma-informed coalition model. With support from CACHI, the coalition formalized as the Antelope Valley – Violence Prevention ACH, expanding its work as an Accountable Community for Health focused on violence as a public health issue. The ACH connects survivors, youth, residents, service providers, schools, health care, and public safety partners in coordinated prevention and healing efforts. Through initiatives including a Hospital Violence Intervention Program, Pathways to Peace toolkits, healing arts workshops, firearm safety campaigns, school-based “Kindness Heals” collaborations, and Stop the Hate support, the coalition is helping survivors navigate care while creating new pathways for residents and young people to shape violence-prevention strategies and long-term systems change.

Marin 9 to 25 is transforming youth well-being in Marin County through a youth-led, equity-driven collaborative model. As an Accountable Community for Health (ACH), it addresses inequities in mental health, education, housing, and substance use by centering youth leadership and cross-sector collaboration. Through its flagship program Find Your Way—which includes youth scholarships, LGBTQ+ advocacy, art and film showcases, and recovery events—Marin 9 to 25 empowers young people to shape solutions and drive systems change in partnership with public agencies.
