Saving Our Youth emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to issues facing youth in the United States. Its primary goal is to educate the total community and to coordinate community resources to address the problem through prevention, intervention, and diversion services. We do this in an effort to reduce violence, gangs, truancy, and juvenile incarceration. We want to increase college enrollment, school attendance, and high school graduation. Saving Our Youth houses the programs Who Knows Gangs, True Gentlemen, & Committed 2 Life to support our goals and mission.
