Strong Partners

We partner with local organizations and community stakeholders to prevent violence before it happens by building trust in the neighborhoods we serve—including Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls and Woonsocket-we offer mentorship to high-risk youth, mediate gang conflicts, and connect individuals with education and employment opportunities. Our consistent presence at schools and community events reflects our commitment to peacebuilding and nonviolence, helping to break cycles of retaliation and foster safer, more resilient communities.

Mentorship

Our team offers 1:1 mentorship for the most at-risk young community members from Providence, Pawtucket, and Central Falls. We work to understand the challenges they face and connect them with employment and educational resources and opportunities that can help lead them to nonviolent choices.

Mediation

We mediate potential conflicts between rival gangs and interrupt the cycle of retaliation by building strong community relationships and exercisng our deep understanding of gang dynamics. We bring community members to shared tables and work through conflict using nonviolence principles and practices.
