Capacitar a las personas.
Transformar la comunidad.

Juntos, trabajamos diligentemente para ser parte de la solución para reducir la violencia juvenil y armada, abogar por comunidades más saludables y crear un impacto positivo que se extienda mucho más allá de hoy para los jóvenes, las familias y los vecindarios marginados y desatendidos en todo el suroeste de CT y más allá. .

Nuestro Impacto

Al colaborar con nuestros vecinos, desde preescolar hasta la edad adulta, generamos un profundo impacto en las vidas de más de 50 000 personas en la región metropolitana de Bridgeport cada año. Estos jóvenes resilientes y sus familias enfrentan desafíos increíbles al navegar por las complejas realidades de un mundo pospandémico, el abuso y la adicción a sustancias, la violencia persistente, la pobreza duradera, las enfermedades mentales y la carga del trauma generacional. Un ejemplo notable de este impacto se puede ver a través de nuestros esfuerzos de justicia restaurativa. La Justicia Restaurativa es sólo una de las formas en que servimos a más de 19,000 estudiantes y 1,500 miembros del personal escolar en múltiples distritos escolares.
