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 intervention and other issues related to the reduction of minority youth into the criminal justice system.
Who we are
WE establish and sustain a dedicated team of community development professionals who remain actively engaged in local communities, providing ongoing support, guidance, and mentorship to youth involved in anti-social or criminal activities.
What we do
WE provide tangible pathways for at-risk youth to redirect their focus towards economic opportunities, achieved through youth-led entrepreneurial initiatives, innovative apprenticeships, job placements in local businesses, and additional financial incentives for those demonstrating a commitment to transforming their lifestyles.
Where we work
WE engage in authentic interactions and meaningful communication with like-minded organizations and groups while also collaborating with government agencies to secure additional resources in support of our mission.
