South Carolina Youth Violence & the Economy Community Forum
https://youtu.be/IXVKFpmO1sk
The South Carolina Youth Violence & the Economy Forum, hosted by Project Unity USA, is a statewide, solutions-focused community forum addressing the growing crisis of violent youth crime and its impact on public safety, families, and economic stability across South Carolina.
Violent youth crime continues to rise, with thousands of juveniles entering the criminal justice system each year—often with long-term consequences for their futures and for the communities they live in. This forum creates a critical space for honest dialogue, education, and action by bringing together youth voices, community leaders, law enforcement, elected officials, and subject-matter experts to confront these challenges head-on.
The forum will highlight data-driven insights and community-based solutions, with focused discussions on:
Youth mental health and suicide prevention
Youth crime prevention and early intervention
Accountability, expungement, and second-chance pathways
Creating opportunity, safety, and economic stability for youth
At the heart of this event is a commitment to listening to young people, supporting families, and mobilizing community partnerships that lead to real, measurable change. The South Carolina Youth Violence & the Economy Forum is not about assigning blame—it is about collaboration, responsibility, and building safer, stronger communities together.
