Grades: 4-12 Beat the Streets: Gangs Aren’t the Answer


!!FREE!!
The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office has created an initiative in partnership with Project Love to prevent youth gang involvement and delinquency through a new program called READI4Youth (Reduce Crime, Empower, Advise, Dream Initiative for Youth). READI4Youth was launched to address the startling realities faced by today’s youth.

On December 13, 2007, a special distance learning program entitled Beat the Streets: Gangs Aren’t the Answer will be available to your students. Prosecutor Bill Mason and law enforcement professionals will lead a discussion with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders aimed at educating youth on the dangers of gang membership and to encourage positive behavior. The session will be broadcast live from the WVIZ/PBS studio. Join us for this FREE program and plan to have your students participate in what will be a very dynamic and educational interactive presentation.
