“The challenge is to stop crime and build vital, caring communities that don’t produce crime. Development of our youth is the root of the work. We have seen kids going to school safely, dangerous parks retaken and now used by families, high school dropout rates improved, fatherless kids given mentors who stay with them, and dangerous, crime-torn neighborhoods become places where kids can play in the streets.”
