With Kansas City recording 101 homicides to date, community leaders and residents gathered Saturday at Swope Park for a youth violence conflict-resolution seminar aimed at promoting community-driven solutions and steering young people away from violence.

The event, focused on practical steps youth can take immediately to change their circumstances, featured presentations and discussions intended to renew hope and connect young people with resources.

Lemuel Israel is an instructor with the seminar.
