Chapter TWO, Inc. provides gang prevention and intervention services to youth and young adults between the ages of 14–25. Certified staff members work with youth and young adults and engage in community group’s institutions and individuals to keep youth out of gangs.
Our case management services target the highest at-risk youth and their families which includes counseling, mentoring, parenting classes, anger management and life skills training. Chapter TWO, Inc. organizes activities such as sports and recreation activities, art programs and field trips.
Gang intervention workers work directly with gang members to assist with conflict resolution, provide information and referrals, and provide crisis intervention to defuse potentially violent
