Set a description

The Waitt Institute for Violence Prevention is a private operating institute committed to breaking the cycle of violence in our homes, schools, and communities on the local and national level. The Waitt Foundation has supported violence prevention efforts since 1993. 

Gender violence prevention is at the forefront of our work. Through our strong partnership with the Futures without Violence, Mentors in Violence Prevention, and others, we hope to contribute to their work. Through our critical, deeper, on-ground research work in Sioux City, Iowa, our hometown, to our national and international roll outs of violence prevention messages, to intense legislative activity, we can and expect to help decrease the devastation of gender violence.

School bullying and violence prevention is a vital part of this work. Reaching youth early and often is the key to changing attitudes and behaviors . A four year project in our hometown of Sioux City, Iowa will help demonstrate promising practices in gender violence prevention, and school bullying. Utilizing such programs as Mentors in Violence Prevention, Futures “Coaching Boys into Men,” and Second Step Violence Prevention programs in Elementary and pre-school, and supporting middle school curriculum such as Bully-Proofing Your School, we’ve worked with the Sioux City Community School system as they have created seamless violence prevention education for every child in our city.

Workplace bullying prevention was added in 2007, when we began a partnership with the Workplace Bullying Institute.

 

Mission: Our mission at WIVP is to break the cycle of violence in our homes, communities and schools through the use of education and mentoring.

Vision: The vision for WIVP is to see violence in our homes, communities and schools greatly reduced across the nation.
