The Stockton youth is most at risk and the city has been given money to help them see their potential. This grant will help Stockton prevent crime here’s how:
The money will go to seven organizations that will provide services to Office of Violence Prevention clients or that will provide training for the office's new youth prevention and intervention steering committee.
The office will be able to expand its services to reach youth between the ages of 12 and 17 through the new committee and the office's existing ceasefire strategy.
The ceasefire strategy: one of two operations that the office currently uses to prevent crime, consists of direct intervention communication with youth and young adults who have become involved in violence.
Operation Peacekeeper: this employs mentors who work with young adults at the highest risk of gang involvement.
The organizations will provide trauma healing services to those at risk of becoming involved in violence and for staff members dealing with second-hand trauma.
We love to see Stockton put money toward good causes. Here at Fat City Feed we want to create a platform for the good in Stockton, not just the negative. Follow us to stay up to date on all the news you’ll need.
