“We really want our youth to be involved in spreading the message of teen dating violence, because the truth is it is happening everywhere and has no barriers to who it affects. We want to bring awareness to parents and community members that our teens are dating and we want to educate our youth and help prevent them from experience dating violence,” says Alexandra Garcia, Youth Prevention Specialist at the Domestic Violence Center.
Residents interested in participating in the contest or who would like more information may call Youth Prevention Specialist Alexandra at (661) 259-8175.
