Changing Culture One Day at a Time, One Kid at a Time

We sincerely believe that to effectively address the issue of violence and other ills in our communities we must change the existing culture. This is especially true for our youth. To begin this culture shift, our coalition has created a comprehensive program to engage young people between the ages of 5 and 18 years.

Here are the dates and locations for the upcoming workshops:
