Family Outreach

Culturally-specific programs address the root causes of youth violence for Black and Latinx youth, adults, and their families.

We work directly with families to reduce recidivism rates and keep youth from entering the juvenile justice system. Families find safety, stability, and establish healthy social connections.

Programs

Prevention

Reaching out to Black and African immigrant youth aged 11-16. Youth and families at high risk for gang involvement, or who already know that life, receive support and assistance to stop the cycle.

Early Intervention

Now serving Multnomah and Washington Counties! A community diversion program for youth and their families provided by culturally-specific organizations via POIC and Latino Network. We know that pro-social activities and teaching skill development are supportive tools that work.

Probation

Youth in Multnomah County who are on probation and involved in high-risk activities with gangs or gun violence can get help. Our culturally-specific services, like intensive case management and mentoring, meet the needs of the individual and their family.

Elevate

African American males aged 17-25 with gang involvement and criminal records receive the support they need to prevent further time in the justice system. Assistance in gaining employment, with education, and one-on-one mentoring can make a difference.
