Peace In The Hood - Goals

    The goals of the Peace In The Hood program are:

  • For community members to persistently report incidents of loitering, drug activities, etc.
  • To consistently document negative activity
  • To involve the youth in the process of bringing peace in the hood
  • To develop a model mechanism with the area high school. Overbrook High School, understanding that the socio-politics that govern the behavior of the students are reflective of what is going on in the streets
  • To implement Safe Corridors for each school in the 10th district, 4th ward
  • To show love to our youth. Acts of love has proven to be the best method to combat violence
  • To promote slogan amongst youth and neighbors, “STRIVE TO STAY ALIVE”
  • To create a mood of comfort for the students. From activities for the entire school, to outreach class by class, to one-on-one contact
  • To acquire accurate information about what is going on in the streets through hotline and communication with students
  • To inform youth of the many options they have for their life. Positive redirection through activities, work, recreation, and fixing up community.
