The Backbone Team is supporting the City of Aurora with eight focus groups over the next couple months to gather voice and perspective around youth violence to inform its youth violence prevention work.
Last week, the Backbone Team conducted two focus groups: one with youth, and one with the City’s parks and recreation employees. Additional focus groups are slated to occur with parents, systems-based organizations, community-based organizations, businesses, and faith-based organizations.
