Youth Violence Prevention Graduate Fellows Program


Introduction

The Youth Violence Prevention Graduate Fellows Program is located at UC Berkeley’s Institute for the Study of Social Change (ISSC). For more than 30 years, ISSC has provided an interdisciplinary research and training environment as a complement to, and resource for, graduate programs in the social sciences and professional schools. The newly formed Youth Violence Prevention Graduate Fellows Program builds on these traditions, with a specific focus on community-based research related to culture, immigration, and youth violence prevention.

About the Fellowship Program


Youth Violence Prevention Graduate Fellows receive training in:

  • Theories of culture, immigration, and youth violence
  • Research design and methodology
  • Preparation of research results for conference presentations, academic articles, and policy papers

The fellows also assist with community-based research and development activities directed by researchers and community partners affiliated with the Center on Culture, Immigration, and Youth Violence Prevention.
