Our interventionist identifies and works with youth at risk between the ages of 13 - 24  years old in the Washington neighborhood. Our team strives to provide the best support services to the youth and their families with an emphasis on avoiding gangs and all related criminal activities. Families are offered a variety of free services to inspire change for a better future. Such services include but are not limited to: case management, mentoring, individual and family counseling, youth group meetings, educational, cultural and recreational settings, sports and other activities.

​
