According to a June 2020 report by the American Health Organization, youth violence is widely regarded as a global public health problem, given it includes a wide range of acts, including but not limited to:
- Bullying and physical fighting, to more severe sexual and physical assault to homicide.
- Worldwide some 200, 000 homicides occur among youth 10–29 years of age each year, which is 42 percent of the total number of homicides globally each year.
- Homicide is the fourth leading cause of death in people aged 10-29 years, and 84 percent of these homicides involve male victims.
- For each young person killed, many more sustain injuries requiring hospital treatment.
- In one study, from three-to–24 percent of women report that their first sexual experience was forced and,
- When it is not fatal, youth violence has a serious, often lifelong, impact on a person’s physical, psychological and social functioning.
Said Vinson of JJV Vinson Corp and Jay Vinson Ministries Inc., regarding these crucial factors amongst youth violence in America:
“We are aiming to help the youth put an end to youth violence through our youth coaching academy called Stepping Into Greatness.
Generally, Vinson’s Stepping Into Greatness has been a nationally-acclaimed fixture for customarily helping each young person learn about self-development, self-growth, self-talk, self-motivation, developing self-belief, holding each young person accountable, helping them find their life purpose beyond academics and athletics, as well as exposing these young people through field trips so that they can see that there is hope and a future for them, he emphasized.
Most importantly, Vinson acknowledged, the strategic mission of his organization is to educate, equip and empower the youth by breaking generational curses, something he aiming to diligently reinforce to the mainstream media, he told Making Headline News.

“Combating violence amongst youths is very important to me because, being a former high school teacher and currently a middle school teacher, each young person is faced with peer pressure daily from their peers which causes more bullying and gun violence daily,” Vinson explained. “But I feel that each young person who goes through our coaching academy will begin to see growth in their lives which will help them to become a better version daily and begin to live out their true purpose in life.
“I believe it is very vital that I bring about awareness of this issue through the media because what these young people are missing is accountability and someone who is not going to be against them but for them and someone who will be I their corner every step of the way,” continued Vinson, who was named Making Headline News Man of The Year for 2021, joining Nashville personality/author Aaron Jordan Jr. in acquiring the media outlet’s most covenant award.
“Also, with my past experience coaching several young people who had setbacks in life and some people given up on them, but I was the one who coached them every step of the way and now they are doing great things in life by living out their life purpose.”
