Program Summary
This initiative's mission is to intervene in young people's lives who
are a risk for gang involvement and
for committing future crimes. Through early identification and
early intervention, youth who may have otherwise followed a path toward
juvenile detention, residential commitment, or eventually adult prison,
will find the support and encouragement necessary to live happy,
productive lives. This will be accomplished through the work of a
Program Coordinator who will incorporate community mobilization,
recruitment, mainstreaming and programming, and education in the
program. Program staff and volunteers will work to increase support and cooperation among all
domains of a student's life.
Program services include violence prevention education, reading interventions, character and leadership building programs, homework assistance and tutoring, and recreational activities that include sports, arts and crafts and music. Hot meals are also provided daily. This program is available at the Garland Hayward Youth Center in Princess Anne, MD and the Village Youth Center in Crisfield, MD.
