4. Mission
• Our mission is to establish and maintain an ongoing and effective coalition of
parents, grandparents, youth service providers, civic and community leaders and
faith-based leaders to incorporate a “bottom-up” approach to gang intervention
and other issues related to the reduction of minority youth into the criminal
justice system.
• To design and maintain a “boots on the ground” brigade of community youth
development practitioners to have a continuous presence in communities, to
engage, assist, and mentor youth engaged in anti-social or criminal behaviors.
• To offer concrete ways in which affected youth can be redirected to access
economic opportunity through youth-driven entrepreneurial projects and job
placement through innovative apprenticeships and placement in area businesses,
and to offer other financial rewards for young people who demonstrate a
determination to change their lifestyles.
• To work and communicate in genuine ways with existing organizations and groups
which have a similar focus and to collaborate with government agencies to seek
more resources in support of our work.
