Banksia Gardens Community Services in Broadmeadows will share in a $1.5 million funding boost from the state government.
The service will receive $300,000 in funding to continue its Good People Act Now youth-led violence prevention initiative.
The program trains a group of young people each year to understand and raise awareness about the causes of violence against women.
Over 100 young people have completed the program since it began.
Prevention of Family Violence Minister Gabrielle Williams said the funding gives the community a real chance of preventing violence before it starts for future generations.
“Whether it’s engaging with young leaders on the sporting field, or helping them lead their peers away from gendered abuse online – we’re backing our young people to be empowered against problematic attitudes to women,” Ms Williams said.

Victorians are being urged to hand in any unwanted, unregistered or illegal firearms as part of a national amnesty.
The amnesty is an Australian-first, according to Victoria Police, and is an opportunity for people in possession of illegal or unregistered firearms, parts or ammunition to anonymously surrender them to their nearest licensed dealer, without fear of prosecution.
The decision to launch the amnesty as permanent follows a successful 2017 firearms amnesty, which aimed to reduce the availability of unregistered firearms and illegal weapons to those not wanting them for lawful purposes, police said.
Licensing and Regulation Division acting Superintendent John Cahill said that while the amnesty is permanent, members of the public should hand in firearms “without delay”.
