Violence Interruption - Our Violence Interrupters take to the most dangerous streets at the most dangerous times of night to engage young people, to diffuse tensions, mediate conflicts and encourage alternatives to violence. Pathways - Mentorship program that helps young people make the transition back home from incarceration, back into school, and back into stability.

Healing : The Khadafy Washington Project (KWP) – KWP provides critical response to family and friends of homicide victims in order to prevent retaliation and promote healing.
