Community Involvement - working with the youth at the high school, as well as Violence Blocked: 901B

The L.I.F.E. program, a collaborative effort between Wharton’s Memphis Gun Down project and Motocyle coalition, was launched last year at Pine Hill Community Center in South Memphis. This program, which aims to reduce youth gun violence, has set a clear timeline for its goals. We aim to reduce violence by 20 percent in selected areas of South Memphis and Frayser and 10 percent citywide by January 2025. We hope to inspire confidence in our shared mission to create safer communities by keeping the community informed about our progress.
