SAN JOSE, Calif. - Sept. 6, 2017 - PRLog -- PARTI Program is recognized for their innovative youth leadership, anti-violence, and bullying prevention programs in California. For more than fifteen years, the nonprofit organization has steadily progressed in effectiveness and popularity, touching lives and expanding outreach to more families, schools, and communities. PARTI Program provides support activities for many low-income and underrepresented youth who suffer from bullying, depression, violent lifestyles, unhealthy relationships and unstable families.

"I admired one of the other participant's courage and growth, because she spoke to me about the past of being a victim of bullying. I feel good about myself being able to spread the message of stopping violence & being able to be a role model for others. Thank you for bringing me into PARTI. You have become a big positive influence in my life. I have been able to grow so much through the program and it has helped me gain confidence...!" – Jasmine, 2017 Student
