Educators, community members
and organizations can gain training in how to:
- Outreach
to the community and on school campus' that have a genuine concern
for at-risk and gang
affiliated youth.
- Connect
with gang members and at-risk youth in order to develop a trust
and working relationship with them.
- Utilize
our ex-gang member panel and other testimonials. This panel understands
first hand the dangers of gangs and encourages families and children
to avoid gang affiliation.
- Assess
your gang concern and assist you and your
team in addressing why kids join gangs and what we can do about
it.
- Develop a community
collaboration to discover and
provide the necessary elements or tools that will assist youth
in not joining a gang or to leave active gang membership.
- Get
parental involvement. This is most vital in helping youth avoid
or leave gang membership. I put 100% of the responsibility on
the parents of these destructive
youth. The program I utilize is "The Parent Project: How
to
change destructive adolescent behavior".
- Develop
a mentor program for the most at-risk gang
youth. On one campus this year 2005, we had approximately 35
youth complete our mentor program.
- Communicate
and network with the police and other
law enforcement agencies.

Out
of Darkness is a Biographical
Comic Series aimed at not only entertaining but educating youth.
These true stories take an intricate look into inner-city gang
life, revealing the hardships, pain and the constant struggle that
comes with joining a gang. Another strong theme in the stories
is that no matter how bleak things seem, that there is always an
alternative; that there is always a way out of darkness.
FROM THE AVENUES OF HELL - EDITION ZERO
