Grounded in restorative practices and evidence-based interventions, we offer comprehensive support to youth, families, and communities impacted by violence, poverty, and systemic barriers. Since 1990, we have worked to create pathways for healing, opportunity, and long-term stability, focusing on disrupting cycles of gang involvement, academic failure, and community disconnection.
