Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
COMMUNITY-BUILDING AND MOVEMENT-ORGANIZING FOR VIOLENCE PREVENTION, HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELLNESS IN OUR MCKIM CENTER PROGRAM (CURRENTLY ACTIVE):1. TRAUMA-INFORMED HEALING SERVICES (I.E., PEACE-BUILDING; NONVIOLENT CREDIBLE MESSAGING; DE-ESCALATION; CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION; COMMUNITY COUNSELING; MINDFULNESS);2. STEM, CIVICS, CULTURAL AND ARTS EDUCATION (I.E., LIFE SCIENCE; ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE; ENGINEERING; CIVIC/CULTURAL STUDIES); AND3. INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT (I.E., FOOD SERVICE (IF APPLICABLE), CONSULTATIONS FOR EQUITY, SAFETY, FUNDRAISING, INFRASTRUCTURAL/RESOURCE IMPROVEMENTS).
THE JOURNEYMAKERS YOUTH PROGRAM AND THE PEACEMAKERS ADULT PROGRAM TRANSFORM SELECT YOUTH AND PARENTS/GUARDIANS INTO PEACE AMBASSADORS. AFTER INTENSIVE TRAINING, THE YOUTH AND ADULTS (WHO LIVE IN AREAS PRONE TO VIOLENCE) SHARE PRACTICES OF DE-ESCALATION, CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION, AND TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE WITH THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, PEERS, AND NEIGHBORS. OFTEN YOUTH AND FAMILIES IN NEIGHBORHOODS MARKED BY VIOLENCE ARE ERRONEOUSLY LABELED AS "TROUBLEMAKERS." THESE TWO PEACE AMBASSADOR PROGRAMS COUNTERACT THIS MISLABELING BY EMPOWERING YOUTH AND FAMILIES TO BE NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS FOR PEACE.
