The key to transformation is in families and communities. At weekly gatherings; this group now teaches people how to “Wraparound” each other and keep kids out of a gang culture that can be generational. Former gang members now work alongside the probation department; law enforcement; churches; schools; universities and a multitude of nonprofit organizations to intervene and educate others.
