Youth Advisory Council

Teens Against Dating Violence (TADV) serves as The Shelter’s youth advisory council. The group is composed of 10-20 youth representatives from across Collier County, ages 12-20. The mission of TADV is to inspire social change by providing education, empowerment, advocacy, and support to the community to broaden awareness and increase prevention of unhealthy relationships and break the cycle of violence. The group is focused on targeting the youth in Collier County to engage them in a social process that targets towards healthy relationships and a reduction of domestic and sexual violence.

.The objective TADV is to provide a forum or place for youth to communicate about relevant issues they face in today’s world, promote healthy relationships through presentations, literature, and discussion, put together and maintain an online venue to offer education and support to youth, and link them with The Shelter’s services and empower young people to bring about social change.
