Gangs Disruption Project

This project aims to challenge young people’s attitudes, demystifying the appeal of gangs, and raising consciousness about the effects of negative behaviour. You’ll work with individuals who are identified either as either known gang members or on the periphery of involvement.

Video Transcript

Interventions are geared towards exploring the influences on young people, dissecting values and beliefs and assisting young people to make more informed life choices. Work centres on a 14-week programme that confronts young people on issues around violence, masculinity, identity and peer pressure.
