<div class="org-card__text"><h3 class="org-card__heading">Anti-Violence Partnership of Philadelphia</h3><div class="org-details"><div class="org-details__primary"><section class="org-details__body"><div><p><strong><em>What the org has to say:</em></strong> “The mission of the Anti-Violence Partnership of Philadelphia (AVP) is to reduce the entire cycle of violence by providing a wide range of services from support and counseling for victims and their families to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of violence. We provide comprehensive and collaborative programs throughout Philadelphia in schools, social service agencies, the courts, and at community sites.”</p>
<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> The Partnership monitors changes in the community so its offerings better suit the needs of the people who seek it out. For example, the organization noticed that many of its clients were dealing with a level of re-victimization it hadn’t seen before, as well as the heavy impact on the entire family, so the staff has shifted its practices to address these issues. When responding to police brutality, AVP staffers recognized that they had to react to the level of violence instead of the label placed on the crime, because asking police to investigate the interests of other law enforcement can create conflicts of interest. You can partake in the organization’s support groups online or in-person.</p>

<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> CDVS serves a large part of the city’s Asian American and LGBTQ communities, as well as individuals who were the victim of a crime while visiting Philadelphia. It organizes an annual conference called Women on the Rise, which aims to empower and educate women about signals of victimization. All its services are free, and the organization will pay for counseling.</p>

<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> Peer Response helps people who have lived through violence reflect on those experiences and turn them into advice and lessons for others who may encounter similar challenges. The group offers a variety of ways to get involved, from training to state certification to job placement. All Peer Response mentors are cross-trained as community health workers and certified peer specialists. Most participants in this nine-week selective program are Black men, but the program is looking to recruit more women.</p>

EMIR is here to guide survivors through the many feelings they will experience and the legal ramifications that are inevitable. EMIR offers concrete, practical, and compassionate steps towards healing.”</p>
<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> EMIR approaches healing by engaging the whole family in activism and advocacy. The organization refers to itself as a “homicide survivors center,” and says that in 20 years, it has never had to turn anyone away. Because the Philadelphia Police Department reports all homicides to EMIR, the organization can reach families when they need it the most.</p>

<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> G.R.O.W.N.’s approach to mentoring addresses both shooting victims and alleged shooters. According to the organization’s co-founder and director, Connell Drinks, G.R.O.W.N. uses “a cognitive-based program to change their thinking and pull them away from the pull of the streets.” The organization’s programming ranges from trauma-informed therapy to creative activities. G.R.O.W.N. says it is “trying to make doing positive cool.”</p>

<p><strong>What we found out:</strong></p>
<p>Imani Star Development offers year-round programs for young people ages 14-24.

<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> Juvenile Law Center takes a unique approach to the work they do: They view youth as leaders in child welfare and juvenile justice reform. The organization hires young Philadelphians to create advocacy projects. As participants pursue their work, the organization also trains them to talk to the media and speak publicly. Juvenile Law Center youth often attend hearings, city council meetings, press hearings, and workshops to help them best understand how these proceedings can differ from case to case.</p>

<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> LPA’s executive director, Cathi Tillman, says the organization sees the people it works with as community members, rather than clients. The organization has created a community of individuals who are searching for constructive ways to work through their mental health concerns. Many participants have referred their friends and family to LPA’s legal counseling. Tillman describes members as feeling “more empowered, feeling more connected, less afraid, more confident, more competent” through their work with LPA.</p>

We’re going to put extra effort into giving students what they need, so they won’t pick up a gun and don’t become a shooter in about four or five years. Our young people need to see and talk to more people who look like them.</p>
<p><strong>What we found out:</strong></p>
<p>Men Who Care creates opportunities for young people — specifically elementary and middle school students — through mentorship programs and summer camp. The Northwest Philadelphia initiative also awards scholarship funding. According to co-founder Joe Budd Jr., during the “real talks” Men Who Care facilitates at public schools, they discuss gun violence, and the importance of education and jobs. The group has coordinated programs with the city’s <a href="https://www.phila.gov/departments/office-of-violence-prevention/">Office of Violence Prevention</a>, and maintains a partnership with the School District of Philadelphia and local nonprofits. The organization hosts an annual summer camp and works with Philabundance to operate a weekly food pantry.</p>

With all completed work going ungraded, our organization strives to create a non-traditional classroom atmosphere where kids can express themselves through their writing.”</p>
<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> Mighty Writers works to be as accessible as possible by having many locations across the city. The group believes that clear thinking is a part of anti-violence work, because a clearer mind will lead to less impulsive decision-making, and that its writing exercises can give young people in Philadelphia a clearer state of mind. The MW workspaces encourage participants to use writing to navigate their feelings and express any difficulties they may be facing. Pre-pandemic, Mighty Writers hosted an anti-violence get-together, where kids got to explain their experiences with violence directly to their local politicians.</p>

From there, you will be connected with a trained volunteer mediator that can help to defuse the situation. You should also download the Philly TRUCE App if you’re in a position to help. Philly TRUCE is also looking for volunteers, and through an in-app signup, you can train to become a mediator.</p>
<p>*Please remember that the Philly TRUCE App is not a substitute for calling 911. *</p>

<div class="org-card__text"><h3 class="org-card__heading">Power of Paint (POP)</h3><div class="org-details"><div class="org-details__primary"><section class="org-details__body"><div><p><strong><em>What the org has to say:</em></strong> “Our mission at Power of Paint Art Academy & Management is to connect, unite, heal, and cultivate leaders who have a strong sense of community, self-awareness, and social responsibility. Our goal is to help counter issues such as depression, boredom, anxiety, esteem issues, grief/loss, and stress, among other things, by hosting art classes, workshops, and community events.”</p>
<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> Power of Paint started as a small group of women using art to build their self-esteem and focus on mental health. Once confined to a small North Philly basement, the organization has expanded to create hubs in West Philly, Southwest Philly, and over Zoom. POP realized that everyone in the city was being affected by gun violence and opened the opportunities up to anyone interested, young or old. Now, POP is a reliable and accessible safe space for Philadelphians to use art to address trauma.</p>

The Shoot Basketballs Not People Program (SBNP) provides personal and professional development through sports. SBNP helps participants explore athletic opportunities and careers beyond the court.

<p><strong>What we found:</strong></p>
<p>Founder Zarinah Lomax recently launched a traveling community museum dedicated to personal healing and community development. She also hosts communal discussions and events that offer people the opportunity to express themselves without judgment and talk about how they have been affected by gun violence.

“The Bridge’s Intensive Prevention Services (BIPS) is a prevention program serving youth. <br>
We have a staff of caring professionals that combine evidence-based assessments, personal experience, and a community of supportive people that provide a safe place for growth focused on helping youths between the ages of 10 and 19 that have been affected by gun violence. Many inner-city youths wander aimlessly after the school year ends to find resourceful activities in the community that have a positive impact on their lives. We fill that void with programs that enhance the quality of life and expand their horizons. Activities include; community service, music, art, and hip hop. Students are supported in the community and through our site-based resource where they are taught conflict resolution, communication skills, and professional development.”</p>
<p><strong>What we found out:</strong></p>
<p>BIPS’ programming for youth ages 10 to 19 focuses on anti-violence, conflict resolution, career development, behavioral health, entrepreneurial skills, and community service. Students are placed and referred through either Philadelphia’s Department of Human services or the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office. BIPS primarily serves West Philadelphia residents from Mantua to Overbrook and Wynnfield. Kids can be referred because of at-risk behaviors in school, at home, or in the community; discipline problems at school or recurring conflicts at home; a history of running away; diversion from arrest via the School Police Diversion Program; chronic truancy, or danger of dropping out of school; the need for a safe space.</p>

Our goal is to fight social injustice and mass incarceration by helping returning citizens transition and build new lives, advocating for their rights, and educating the public about the detrimental effects of mass incarceration.”</p>
<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> TCRC works primarily with people impacted by the criminal justice system and who are looking to fulfill their court-mandated community service. The organization aims to help these individuals have a meaningful community service experience that benefits the communities they’re from. TCRC is run by individuals who were previously incarcerated themselves, which they say gives them a unique perspective on their work. “We’re formerly incarcerated and we’re OGs,” says founder J. Jondhi Harrell. “We’re former bank robbers, former gang leaders, former drug dealers, and we’re uniquely qualified to show kids something different and be positive role models in their lives.”</p>

<div class="org-card__text"><h3 class="org-card__heading">The Elevation Project</h3><div class="org-details"><div class="org-details__primary"><section class="org-details__body"><div><p><strong>What the organization has to say:</strong><br>
The Elevation Project is a community-based organization that strives to meet the needs of both at-risk and formerly incarcerated individuals by providing a variety of services in a safe and supportive environment in order to empower fresh starts and open new pathways. Our work aims to improve lives, reduce recidivism and crime, and drive systemic change. The Elevation Project focuses on providing quality programming in following areas: cognitive thinking, coping with trauma, job readiness, parenting skills, and business development.</p>
<p><strong>What we found out:</strong></p>
<p>The Elevation project runs three programs including The Transformative Business Center, Reentry Support Hub, and The Elevate Program. It also hosts monthly community events centered around justice-impacted families, such as record-clearing clinics and food giveaways. Their <strong>Transformative Business Center</strong> (Small Business Incubator) gives budding entrepreneurs access to workshops, traditional office equipment, and trade-specific technology. The** Reentry Support Hub** helps residents apply for benefits, create resumes, apply to jobs, and access clothes, housing, and other basic needs. Specific job training includes CPR, ServSafe, and OSHA certification. The organization’s newest initiative, the <strong>Elevate Program</strong>, works with young men to start their own T-shirt lines. Throughout the eight-week workshop, participants work with case managers and mentors to design, print, package, and market the shirts. It’s all in an effort to give those at risk of incarceration a means of supporting themselves.</p>

<p>“We’re a community-based organization. Our whole mission is early intervention and violence prevention. We specialize in workforce development, offering job training, job readiness, and financial literacy courses. We teach kids how to go out and get jobs and have the right attitude and work ethic to live productive lives and earn an income. We’ve started adding a mental health and social component to our program. Each youth gets a case manager, a youth coordinator, and a network of adults that are here to help guide you and want to see your success. And we use the term real models, meaning that we are people who grew up in the shoes that you’re now walking in.”</p>
<p><strong>What we found:</strong></p>
<p>The NOMO Foundation offers tutoring and educational resources. Volunteers, including some teachers, focus on reducing barriers students face in their home and school environments. Students are eligible for incentives like free transportation, childcare, and up to $200 a month, for personal expenses. Parents can sometimes get help paying their utilities. There are NOMO Foundation centers in North, West, and South Philadelphia. The West Philly center offers transitional housing.</p>
<p>NOMO has an agreement with the District Attorney’s Office that allows some juvenile offenders to participate in its youth programming, in lieu of serving time in jail. There are trauma counselors onsite to help with their rehabilitation. NOMO also offers creative healing spaces through a unique art therapy program. NOMO’s RIPS program offers restorative justice counseling and advice to youth.</p>

<p>Parents and interested family members should expect that their respective teen participants will be exposed to new concepts, ideas, and skill sets in an effort to widen their perspectives. We believe that many of our Philadelphia youth benefit from being immersed in new spaces and exposed to professionals who can provide mentorship, guidance, and support to assist youth in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and what their futures can be. We’re creating a space that feels safe, where young people feel like they are cared for, and that they matter.</p>
<p><strong>What we found out:</strong><br>
The goal of the Achievers Program is to prepare young people to live healthier lives by helping them access opportunities in higher education or careers. They do that by partnering with colleges and employers to teach character and life skills through lessons on conflict resolution, team building, and civic engagement. Trips to college campuses paired with onsite professional guest speakers expose youth to college prep initiatives, campus clubs, and other collegiate activities. Workshops connect them with professionals who can help them financially prepare for college. A volunteerism arm requires students to engage in small acts of kindness.</p>

Through our work in the Philadelphia jails, YASP provides space for incarcerated young people to express themselves creatively and to develop as leaders both within and beyond the prison walls.”</p>
<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> YASP is a participatory defense hub, which is a method of community organizing that empowers people to fight for themselves in the legal system. As the only participatory defense youth hub in Philadelphia, YASP has worked to end the incarceration of young people and help incarcerated youth become community leaders. Their program The Healing Futures is the city’s first pre-charge restorative justice program, which serves as an alternative to prosecution for young people who would otherwise be facing charges in the criminal justice system. YASP also offers training in youth organizing and volunteer opportunities.</p>

<div class="org-card__text"><h3 class="org-card__heading">Youth Sentencing and Reentry Project</h3><div class="org-details"><div class="org-details__primary"><section class="org-details__body"><div><p><strong><em>What the org has to say:</em></strong> “YSRP uses direct service and policy advocacy to transform the experiences of children prosecuted in the adult criminal justice system, and to ensure fair and thoughtful resentencing and reentry for individuals who were sentenced to life without parole as children (‘Juvenile Lifers’).”</p>
<p><strong><em>What we found:</em></strong> YSRP’s goal is to have juvenile cases moved out of the adult justice system because in Pennsylvania, children as young as 10 can be charged as adults. Philadelphia has sentenced more children to life in prison without parole than any other city in the country. The organization works with clients for as long as they want, including when they are incarcerated and when they come home and need help reentering society. The staff meets monthly with trauma-informed therapists who teach them how to support the youth they are serving. YSRP offers art and poetry workshops to youth who are currently incarcerated and were charged as adults. Due to COVID, clients are now participating in those workshops over Zoom, on prison computers.</p>
