Starting a Gang Prevention Program will provide multiple support systems to families who are challenged. By gathering, equipping, and launching a collaborative effort, a key core site will have services to provide in relationship with other community leaders, for cooperative work. This could be accomplished by a committed host team who will link out to other local community groups: Civic League, Pta’s, Church’s, and Businesses. The core site teams assistance is required to set up this training date for their area. We ask that team to register the network training attendants, as the co-host can invite the leaders they are most comfortable with. We have a set of multi-media trainings with hands on role playing, team breaks outs and sets of ‘take home materials’ to help gather, train, and launch a long term sustained program.
