OUR APPROACH
OUR WORK
Make youth leaders in their communities
We believe that youth are at the center of our community’s safety. Our programs actively seek out youth directly involved or impacted by gun violence and the criminal justice system. We offer healing programs to process trauma and employment programs around civic engagement and community organizing. Our work is proven to reduce violence, lower recidivism and help foster the next generation of community leaders.
Our Programs
Pilot new models of public safety
We work with a broad coalition of organizations, advocates, activists, officials, and local precincts to develop new models for public safety. We test and measure new ways for partners to share information and coordinate resources, so communities feel supported and involved in the public safety strategy on their blocks.
Our Pilots
Shape the conversation on reform & policy
We work with our partners to advocate for smarter public safety policies. We work with elected officials,coalitions, youth and cultural leaders to raise awareness around solutions and change the narrative of public safety.
