Project EGRESS PROGRAM
Project
EGRESS Program is structured to enlighten and warn our
youth of the dangers of street gangs and criminal activity. This is an 8-week program that targets youth
(ages 11-18years). Every week different
issues and topics will be addressed, along with assignments and role playing
activities to analyze real life situations.

be given to participants in information packets. All clients will be able to contact our
facilitators at any time, if they have any questions, we will follow-up with
our client’s every two months to monitor progress in their community
environments.
ERA OF NEW LEADERS PROGRAM
Schools are havens for gang and criminal activity. The school atmosphere is where most children
display their traumatic experiences by having a lack of interest in school,
displaying bad behavior, confrontations with school staff and fighting fellow
classmates. Student sensitivity training
requires teachers and administrators to be conscious of a student who’s have a
bad day by communicating with them to help the student resolve their
issue(s). We feel the peer groups will
give the students a safety zone to express themselves and have a voice in what
is going on in their environment and their day-to day lives. This approach is designed to establish better
relationships between school staff and the students, keep down the violence and
get parents and communities more involved in school functions and
activities. This program is conducted in
8-week sessions, 90 minutes per session.
Each session is designed to help our youth affirm who they are, open up
to other people and build bonds with their fellow peers. Our goal is to deprogram youth who are gang
affiliated and in gangs from having a gangsta or criminal mentality.
MENTOR TRAINING PROGRAM
The Mentor Training Program is structured to give
relevant and reality based tools to motivate and connect with young people
at-risk of gang or criminal involvement.
This program is suitable for non-profit organizations, law enforcement,
school resource officers, educators and paraprofessionals. These sessions will allow participants to
gain insight into the lure of gangs, ways to reach this group of young people,
communication relationships and commitment in mentoring.
R.O.O.T.S. PROGRAM
R.O.O.T.S. is
an acronym for Reoffering an Opportunity to Transition in Society. The program is a reentry program for young
men and adult males from 18 years old and older. This program is designed to help men who were
incarcerated and convicted of a crime to get reestablished in society, without
them wanting to get back involved in criminal activities.
ROAD TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP
This program is designed to give participants an in-depth
look at the beginning stages of starting up a business and what it takes to
build and maintain it, so it can become successful. The
reality is a lot of youth and young adults may not be able to go to or
want to go to college or trade school, but through what they learn in
this program they can create an opportunity for themselves to become
financially successful and stable in our society.
