To do that, everybody must get involved. Keep watch over a neighbor's home. Volunteer to work with youth. Donate your time and talent to neighborhood projects. Do something to contribute to your neighborhood's capacity for providing youth with opportunities to become productive, law-abiding members of civil society.
Every neighborhood is different.
That's why the Gang Crime Prevention Center doesn't prescribe ready-made solutions. The best solutions come at the local level. The GCPC does serve as a catalyst and a resource, helping individuals and neighborhoods learn from the experience of others how to come together and solve their own problems. We are here to help neighborhoods, communities, and service organizations to enlist themselves and each other in the unceasing and unyielding effort to steward youth into a promising future. Please refer to the Resources page to review the GCPC's recommended readings on gangs.
