More About Invent2Prevent

Invent2Prevent (I2P) is an experiential program that challenges high school and university students to create and implement peer-developed initiatives, products and tools to prevent hate crimes, targeted violence and terrorism. The program allows essential prevention work to happen at the state and local level with the goal using a public health-informed approach to reducing risk factors and bolstering protective factors within youth. Invent2Prevent teams are encouraged to optimize the sustainability of their projects to continue beyond the program term. Additionally, I2P student participants are eligible to apply for up to a $5,000 scholarship award to continue their study of topics related to intelligence and analysis, terrorism, violent extremism, or prevent. Past I2P teams have also been awarded funds to continue and enhance their projects through the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program.
