Activity 2

Intervention: 2nd Chance Executive Director continues to be a delegate for Salinas on the White House National Forum on Youth Violence. Since 2009, 2nd Chance has been an active participant in the City of Salinas Community Alliance for Safety and Peace (CASP). CASP is a collaborative representing 35 organizations involved in prevention of gang violence. Through this partnership, 2nd Chance's Intervention Program has put three Intervention Specialists and five Outreach Workers on the street to build trusting relationships on a face-to-face basis with youth involved in gangs or at-risk of involvement. Specific results during the year: 1. Brief contact made with youth on the street totaled 5,801 brief contact with 5,685 referrals for counseling and social service assistance.

Activity 3

Building Healthy Communities Initiative (BHC) (Third year of 3 year grant from the California Endowment Foundation): The BHC Hub Manager and Project Coordinator continue to manage the day-to-day operations of the 10 year initiative. The BHC Steering Committee, comprised of residents and community stakeholders, adopted the Hub governance structure and continues to ensure ongoing resident participation while building leadership capacity through community trainings and meetings. We are continuing with a number of different endeavors through the initiative all with the focus on building resident capacity and address a myriad of social and marginalizing issues affecting the youth and families of the community. More info. Facebook: East Salinas BHC. We are still in partnership with CHSIPA, local non-profit organization working with residents and youth from densely populated and violence plagued neighborhood that has experienced multiple youth homicides over the last few years. We continue to work with the youth in developing leadership and organizational skills to help then in understanding how to better get involved and change the environment in which they reside.
