iChoose comprises a three-part program that helps youth identify violence in their lives and communities, and empowers them to make positive choices to counteract that violence. The components of iChoose are the internationally successful (VOV) exhibit; a twenty-minute musical production by ICAP artists portraying high school students and the impact of an individual’s choice in counteracting violence; and a concluding discussion facilitated by iChoose cast members and ICAP representatives.

A central aspect of the iChoose presentation is the VOV exhibit. This exhibit is part of a youth-led initiative launched in 1999 in response to the growing concern of youth-related violence in the United States. The goal of VOV is to promote awareness, introspection, and the spirit of nonviolence through active dialogue among youth in order to inspire positive change. This initiative has since been presented to more than 100 U.S. schools and has reached as far as the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada. The VOV pledge for nonviolence has been signed by more than a million people around the globe.
