Project- Stop The Violence

What It Is

Project Stop the Violence is our boots-on-the-ground initiative to fight back against the violence tearing through our communities. We’re healing the hurt with hope, mentorship, and action.

Through hands-on workshops, community healing circles, care package outreach, and pop-up activations, we’re creating real spaces where youth and families can feel seen, supported, and safe.

Why We Show Up

Too many of our young people are growing up in chaos—without support, without role models, and without peace. We believe in leading with presence. That means we’re not behind desks—we’re in the neighborhoods, talking to youth, hugging mothers, helping people redirect their lives.

What We Do

Mix & Mentor Workshops
Purpose-driven spaces for mentorship, emotional healing, and real conversations.
Pop-Up Peace Projects
From community cleanups to block-based care drops, we make peace public.
Healing Circles + Speaker Events
We provide space for grief, growth, and collective transformation.
Youth-Led Actions
Empowering the next generation to design their own solutions through art, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

Get Involved

We’re calling on mentors, volunteers, and action-takers to join the movement.
