Programs
Empower
We love not only our children and youth, but the entire community. We often take our programs beyond the walls of our facility and empower our neighbors.
The Silent Protest
A march to stop the violence
Our Silent Protest march is a vehicle we use to increase awareness of the daunting impact of crime, gang violence and drug abuse in our community. Family and friends of fallen victims design a memorial poster or banner that is carried during the trek from Faith Temple to the Lorraine Motel. During the march, silent protesters wear a white strip of tape across their mouth. Afterward, a mock funeral and repast are held, symbolizing the death of adversities that has plagued our inner-city youth. The purpose of this symbolic event is to mobilize the citizens of our community and encourage actions to stop the violence.
