“Gang Alternative, Inc. the Organization is a nonprofit entity incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in April 2005. The organization was founded for the purpose of preventing the communitys youth from entering youth gangs and to divert young men and women into more constructive programs and activities. The Organization aims to provide a safe and positive environment for young men and women to learn new skills and enhance their social, emotional, and behavioral competencies. The Organizations programs further aim to assist young men and women, and their families, by providing community support in a faithbased environment, where family, education and positive social behaviors are promoted. The Organization is located in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami, Florida. Gang Alternative Inc. GA was incorporated as a 501 c3 in 2005, focusing on community driven outreach and resource development approaches to address high crime, violence, dependency, and delinquency. It was founded in faith and evolved with the understanding that there is more to ministry work than just teaching Bible stuff. When we talk about Gang Alternative we are referring to the gang mentality that enslaves individuals and families in our communities, keeping them dependent, delinquent and destitute, preventing them from being the best that they can be. GA provides alternatives to change this mindset, operating under five Pillars of Service Positive Youth Development, Family Strengthening, Workforce Development, Community Upliftment and Partnerships, Health and Wellness. Our Leadership includes a Board of Directors with representatives from the public and private sectors. The Chief Executive Officer, with the assistance of the Executive and Management teams, oversees a staff of over 100 employees, as well as a cadre of interns and volunteers. Staff members are fluent in English, French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish, and have a wealth of experience in social services. The staff is deeply rooted in the community and intimately familiar with key community personalities and institutions. They are in tune with the many challenges facing our children and families.The Organization derives most of its revenue from program activities which are funded by The Childrens Trust, South Florida Behavioral Health Network, Department of Labor and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.”
