Strategies

Offer programs to help individuals without a high school diploma or its equivalent achieve a high school equivalency credential

Pair youth at risk for delinquent behavior with mentors to develop relationships and spend time at regular meetings for an extended period; mentors have greater knowledge, skills, etc. than mentees

Support the efforts of neighborhood residents to work together in preventing crime by reporting suspicious or potentially criminal behavior to local law enforcement

Provide short-term employment opportunities for youth, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds
