ABOUT

PHILLY-WOOD 7 aims to empower young people in urban environments by providing a suite of prevention and intervention strategies focused on building resilience and positive behaviors. Targeting individuals at risk of engaging in violence or criminal activities, the program encompasses seven key areas: Conflict Resolution, Gang Prevention and Intervention, Peer-to-Peer Mediation, Community Service, Musical Performances, Field Trips, and an upcoming Stop the Violence Basketball League, all designed to foster community engagement and promote constructive life skills. Overall, our anti-violence program aims to promote a safe and peaceful environment by addressing the root causes of violence and providing resources, education, and support to individuals and communities affected by violence. We aim to prevent and reduce incidents of violence, empower individuals to make positive choices, and foster a culture of empathy, respect, and non-violence. Through collaboration with schools, community organizations, and law enforcement agencies, we work towards creating lasting change and promoting a society free from violence.
