Outreach and prevention education
Kaity’s Way, the first ever program in Arizona focusing on teen dating violence awareness and education, was founded in 2008 by Bobbi and Ric Sudberry in response to the tragic loss of their daughter, Kaitlyn (Kaity) Marie Sudberry.
Kaity was only 17-years old when she was tragically killed by an ex-boyfriend as she walked home from school in Phoenix. To honor Kaity and to help create a world where other families wouldn’t suffer the same loss, her family formed Kaity’s Way.
Between 2008-2021, Kaity’s Way messaging reached over 100,000 people; and in 2022, transitioned from a stand-alone organization to an integral program of New Life Center.
Today, New Life Center continues the work of Kaity’s Way, by providing single and multi- session workshops targeted at building students’ knowledge and understanding of healthy relationships, dating, consent, red flags of abuse, communication and more.
We are honored to be able to provide the following prevention education to youth and adult allies throughout Arizona, in memory of Kaity.
