RISK/Gang Prevention

RISK/Gang Prevention is a set of services designed to reach youths and their families who are at-risk of involvement in or are involved in gang activities, violence, illegal acts and/or other related activities.

The purpose of the program is to expand current services that are available to youths and their families in order to set the foundation for a community-based, comprehensive, nonviolent/gang prevention approach. CAASTLC has joined forces with the education system (principals, teachers, and counselors) to provide prevention and intervention strategies to reduce the number of youths who are becoming involved in gang activities, violence, illegal acts and/or other related activities. Local community centers, religious organizations, apartment complexes, recreational and service providers also form a vital component of this network. Components of this program include education, intervention, stabilization, and empowerment.
