Students Against Violence Everywhere

Students Against Violence Everywhere, or SAVE, is a national organization with over 1,600 chapters on college campuses and at elementary, middle, and high schools across the United States. The group's guiding vision is "that all students will be able to attend a school that is safe, secure, free of fear, and conducive to learning."


SAVE's 2007-2008 Youth Advisory Board According to their website, each year the National Association of Students Against Violence Everywhere hosts an annual Summit for students, advisors, and community members to celebrate the success of SAVE chapters for the year. Chapter members lead workshop sessions, display accomplishments in Exhibit Alley, and have the opportunity to network with students from across the country.

This year's summit will include a workshop and testimony by anti-gang, anti-drug representatives of the Campaign 4 Change.
