"To create a respectful and responsible community for our youths that have been affected by
mass incarceration of parents, gun violence, and lack of comprehensive mentorship." Peer Group Empowerment is a continuing 8-week course designed to help youths overcome
past mistakes and reach new horizons. Participants will be able to address challenges they face
daily and learn how to overcome them with the help of their peers, while under guidance from
mentors.
By signing this form, parties agree the children will obey all rules in group meetings, attend
weekly sessions, and write a 200-word essay on what they have learned from Peer Group
Empowerment in order to graduate from the class. Parties acknowledge and agree to allow
photos and videos to be open to the public, as well as data to be collected and reported.
