Our Health Awareness & Harm Reduction program equips youth and community members with life-saving education on HIV, AIDS, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and opioid overdose prevention. Through hands-on workshops and real-life conversations, we break the stigma around health and promote access to care. In underserved communities, the lack of accurate health information and accessible resources leads to preventable illness and loss of life. We step in with truth, tools, and training to ensure every person—regardless of background—has the knowledge to protect themselves and others. From Narcan training to wellness awareness, we make public health personal.

Led by a former gang leader and credible messengers, this workshop exposes the truth about gang culture and helps youth confront the myths, trauma, and traps associated with street life. Through mentorship, dialogue, and vision-building, participants are guided to choose self-worth, purpose, and freedom.

Through poetry, journaling, and storytelling - youth use the the written word as a mirror and megaphone. This workshop transforms emotional wounds into creative power, fostering healing, self-reflection, and strength through expression.

This experience teaches youth how to move from retaliation. Through emotional intelligence, conflict navigation, and restorative justice, they learn how to transform pain into peace and rebuild relationships with dignity.

Our Theater & Performance program uses the power of the stage to unlock voices that have been silenced by trauma, violence, or systemic barriers. Youth engage in acting, writing, and performing to tell their stories, build confidence, and spark social awareness through the art of theater. Creative expression is more than performance—it’s healing, growth, and connection. For many of our participants, theater becomes a safe space to process pain, explore identity, and speak truth to power. We cultivate leadership, self-worth, and communication through every line spoken and every role played.

A no-holds-barred workshop rooted in lived experience. Participants learn the true cost of incarceration, systemic traps, and the emotional weight of prison life - before they ever set foot inside. It's not scared straight; it's truth told right.

Led by justice-impacted individuals, this program brings powerful lived experiences to the forefront. Credible messengers connect with youth on a level that textbooks and lectures can’t reach—through truth, vulnerability, and the lessons learned from life in the streets and behind bars. These workshops create space for healing, growth, and real talk that drives change. When someone who has walked the path of pain, prison, and redemption speaks, young people listen. These mentors are more than speakers—they’re proof that transformation is possible. By sharing their journeys, they break down harmful myths, challenge glamorized street narratives, and inspire youth to rewrite their own stories with intention and purpose.
