Goals

Overview

This project engages untapped potential of the youth and young adults in our community. By increasing P.R.I.D.E. in Saginaw youth and the adult systems we develop a safe, flourishing community, eliminating our FBI distinction as the most violent city per capita in America (since 2003). The Pacific Institute curriculum PX2 is proven successful in increasing hope worldwide and reducing violence dramatically in U.S. cities: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York. L.A. reduced homicides in city parks by 87% their first summer. The project targets at risk youth while concurrently training adult support systems. We solve issues at the ROOT cause thereby increasing hope and curbing violence and crime. We are making Saginaw a "Sagin-awesome" community where people thrive, are safe & feel valued. Our community agencies, business, education and churches are energized and fully engaged in a partnership, committed to the success of this program.  Grant will fund training delivery.

How will the 50K be Used? $ 50,000 Will be used to fund high school aged youth and facilitator training
Budget Notes: Budget will not cover student or volunteer facilitator time, student transportation
