All funds collected from presentations are used to assist families who have lost children due to gang violence. We help these families with purchasing headstones, funeral expenses, paying for medical expenses, or other special needs.

Please contact us at least three weeks before the event. Any additional information about the group/organization is helpful to us in preparing for the presentation. Please allow flexibility in scheduling the presentation since some of our speakers are also college students and/or volunteers.

The format of the presentation will be designed to fit the needs of your group. However, we do offer three basic formats:

SMALL GROUP INTERVENTION: 20-30 people; students or residents

This is an intervention-oriented presentation including: autobiographical success stories, prevention and intervention techniques, and open discussion.

$100.00 

INFORMAL ADULT TRAINING: 10-30 people; educators, counselors, professionals, and other adults who work with youth The format of these training presentations will depend on the needs of the group, but can include: panel or open discussions, questions and answer sessions, and more. Topics include: criminal mind set, identifying risk and protective factors, levels of gang involvement, how gang activity impacts the youth, family, community and educational environment, and more.
