Targeted Presentations are given at schools, businesses, and other community forums. These talks are uniquely designed so GRASP members can connect with boys and girls who are at-risk of gang involvement, or are active in gangs now. Youth in the audience hear from former gang members who have successfully left the gang life-style. Presenters tell why they joined a gang, why and how they left the gang, and how they turned their lives around.

Tattoo Removal Program is a collaborative effort between INK-B-GONE and GRASP (Gang Rescue and Support Project). The focus for this program is to assist youth in an integral part of a positive, lifestyle change. Tattoo removal is an important part, at any stage of change, in breaking one’s identity from the gang lifestyle and creating a person free of negative labels written on their skin to define who they are. It is, therefore, an expectation that each participant has already made the commitment to exit gang life and commit to a positive lifestyle void of gang identification. Tattoo removal would then become the next necessary step toward successful change, and reward for completing the rehabilitation process.
