Youth are the future

Our comprehensive set of programs directly address the root causes of gun/gang involvement and trauma and provide pathways towards a brighter future. We believe that the key to interrupting gang violence lies in establishing meaningful relationships with youth and providing them with positive outlets.

Mentorship Services

We are committed to empowering high-risk youth – especially Latino youth – through mentorship, community connection, and positive engagement. Our focus is on violence prevention, personal growth, and helping young people build resilience as they navigate life’s challenges.
