ANTI-VIOLENCE PROGRAM
Malik Abd-hadi, Chairperson The BOOST CDC mission is to provide comprehensive support for at risk youth ages 7 to 17 and young adults ages 18 to 25 in the Lansdowne Avenue and Carroll Park Community, consisting of the 19131 and 19151 zip code. Our primary focus is to address at risk and under-served youth with time proven tools essential to enhancing the quality of life for youth in the BOOST CDC catchment area. Some issues that have been identified as community epidemics include drug activity, drug abuse, illiteracy, conflict resolution, lack of community standards, lack of career preparation, and a lack of employment readiness. BOOST CDC will address these issues in the hope of interrupting the continuous cycle of senseless violence. We believe education makes better citizens and better citizens makes a better community in which to live. |
