Heal the Streets
Description:
Heal the Streets creates a ten-month fellowship program to train young adults of color (ages 15-18) to develop and promote smart policy solutions that decrease violence and increase opportunities in Oakland, CA. They use a network of community leaders as mentors and a curriculum that supports personal development of leadership qualities and teaches research, reporting and advocacy skills. These young people will learn to lead outcomes-based advocacy projects that will inform local and statewide violence prevention strategies. Through this project, tomorrow's leaders will learn how to collaborate with ally organizations to create real change in their neighborhoods.
