Community Mobilization
A key project of the Center on Culture, Immigration, and Youth Violence Prevention (the Center) is to coordinate youth violence prevention efforts for the Asian/Pacific Islander (API) and Latino communities of Oakland, California. These two communities share commonalities as immigrant and refugee groups working toward civic engagement and political representation.
Through community mobilization efforts, the Center’s goal is to enhance community capacity to prevent and reduce youth violence through data gathering, information dissemination, and youth and community involvement.
