THRIVE students partnered with the Oasis Center and the Youth Opportunity Center to help stop youth violence in Nashville. The citywide "Keeping Our Youth" March was hosted by Youth United and was held on November 14. Middle and high school students made signs and walked from the Juvenile Justice Center to the Metro Courthouse; advocating along the way. Following the march, students heard speeches from community leaders, payed homage to lives lost, and learned alternatives to youth violence. It was a memorable day for the city as THRIVE youth did their part to better their community.
