1986 - 2011: Project PAVE Celebrates 25th Anniversary
Project PAVE was established in 1986 in conjunction with a tragic incident in which a well-known attorney, representing a woman in a domestic violence case, was shot and paralyzed by her client's estranged husband.
 Understanding that children exposed to violence often become victims or perpetrators later in life, programs were tailored to meet the unique needs of children and youth who are victims and/or witnesses of domestic violence, physical or sexual assault, child abuse, and teen dating violence."For the past 25 years, Project PAVE has greatly contributed to the Denver Metro community by providing services to several thousand children, teens, youth and their families who have been impacted by relationship violence," said Michael Johnson, PAVE executive director. "These people in turn have been part of ending the cycle of relationship violence in their lives as well as the larger community."

Stephanie Lopez: Outstanding Youth Advocate
Seven individuals and organizations from Fort Collins to Durango were recognized in December for their exemplary leadership in making Colorado a place where equality is valued. The Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado's annual Advancing Equality Awards honor leaders and powerful voices in communities across the state-people who stand when others cower, speak out when others are silent, and help inform, educate and generate thought-provoking conversations around equality and inclusion, for all people.Outstanding Youth Advocate for Excellence: Stephanie Lopez, graduate of East High School and student at the University of Denver.
 Stephanie Lopez's passion for preventing dating violence sparked when she took part in a healthy relationship course as a sophomore at East High School. Within months, Stephanie organized and launched Angels Against Abuse, one of East High's largest and most diverse clubs. The club's members transcend the divisions often present in high school, focusing on inclusion of all students regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, socio-economic status, or religious beliefs. Stephanie is currently creating a pilot program at University of Denver to engage young Latino men in the movement to end the cycle of relationship violence.Congratulations, Stephanie!Click here to read more about the awards and the other winners.
