Gang Prevention and Intervention Services

Check out our Gang Prevention and Intervention Program Matrix. As part of our efforts to bring the community together to prevent young people from getting involved in gangs we are inviting agencies to share information about their programs services and best practices that are “part of the community solution to gang violence.” The Gang Prevention and Prevention Matrix is an on-line data-base that allows users to access information about agencies, programs and services that are building protective factors around young people in four key domains─ individual, family, school and community. Information can be retrieved by agency, program, asset or asset domain. The matrix can show at a glace how a particular program or services fits into a comprehensive approach to prevent youth involvement in gangs and allows users to identify over-laps and linkages between services and gaps in service. A more complete description of the Matrix, its purposes and uses is provided on the site.
