Violence Intervention
Program (VIP)

Helping young people focus on their future is of utmost importance, especially when their environments are burdened with the realities of urban life. Communities must strengthen families and schools, improve community supervision, train teachers and parents to manage disruptive youth, and teach students interpersonal skills.

A risk assessment is done and effective interventions are tailored to reduce the likelihood of gang affiliation. We help youth see the big picture and get them excited about their future. We do this by providing them a safe place to feel good about themselves, belong to a greater purpose and provide positive alternatives to what they might be experiencing.
