to provide overall support for children and families who have experienced violence. We enrolled 30 students into our 5 week summer program and 75% of students graduated. Students help maintain a community healing garden and had an opportunity to hear from gun violence victims as part as our initiative to teach our students empathy. We were able to enroll 15 students into our year round youth works program, where youth works pay students to engage.
