The Problem

Violent crimes among young men of color against young men of color is on the uprise according to a report online released by law enforcement. When I left a big city out west with my family and returned to my small little city in the North. Little did I know that the violence in my small city had become comparable to the violence in the big city. This is why I started a support group and I plan to continue to volunteer as a mentor to help young men stay on the right path to success. Also, in my community along with my group, we have launched a campaign and we are working hard to get the word out that Peers don’t let peers hurt each other.

Plan of Action

The group I started meets regulary to brain storm solutions to stop the violence. We volunteer and I have mentored and plan to continue to do so. Also through the campaign we plan to get the word out to stop the violence.
