Welcome to our website!

I would like to welcome you to our website. I am very excited about this initiative. Our objective is to make a real contribution in reducing crime and putting troubled youth on the path to being contributing, constructive members of society. 
Most agencies that work with this population are run by those who do not have a direct experience with gangs and/or prisons. It is our goal to collaborate with these agencies lending our experiences to help create solid programs.

Our main purpose is to provide capacity building, strategic planning and assistance for agencies that work with high risk populations. Fully rehabilitated gang members and ex-offenders can reach their troubled youth in unique ways. The goal of programming is to prevent crime and to reform and rehabilitate those caught up in street life. Why not unleash the power of the reformed to reach out to those who are deemed impossible to help? This is a model that is not that dissimilar from various 12-Step programs that have proven to be effective. We all want the same result at the end of the day, less victims and stronger families. This is a critical distinction.

We have experience working internationally. Our on-the-ground interventions have taken us to three continents and numerous countries, including: Haiti, Guatemala, Sweden, England, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Australia, the Bahamas. We understand the language of high-risk populations from different cultures and are able to provide critical insights

We are inheritors of the great legacies of John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who used deep engagement with people via non-violence to achieve social justice goals. It is my hope that we will partner to help realize our vision of fewer victims and safer communities.

Sincerely,
Andre J. Norman 

Founder and President
