✨ Street outreach & crisis response
✨ Neighborhood check-ins
✨ Victim support
✨ Diversion & reentry services
✨ Whole-family support
✨ Positive, prosocial activities

📊 First-Year Highlights:
• 2,044 street outreach contacts
• 471 neighborhood climate checks
• Support for victims and families, including hospital visits after violent incidents
• 9,800+ hours of diversion and reentry services
• Educational workshops for 2,000+ family members and friends
• 103 prosocial events
• Intensive case management for 82 youth and their families

At the heart of this work are credible messengers—staff with lived experience who build trust and guide youth toward safer, healthier choices. Funded by the Public Safety and Violence Prevention Sales Tax, this program is making a meaningful difference in some of Santa Rosa’s most impacted neighborhoods.

💙 Together, we’re building safety, support, and new opportunities for our youth.
