WHO WE ARE
Prevention isn't just possible
— it's proven.
The National Center for Prevention of Community Violence™ (NCPCV™) equips schools and communities with the strategies, training, and leadership to interrupt violence at its roots.
Based in Virginia, with a satellite office in Prescott, Arizona, our team of national experts brings decades of frontline experience to every community we serve.
"Violence is a process, not an event. When we understand the process, we can interrupt it."
— Bobby Kipper, Founder & CEO, NCPCV™
