"If you are a gang member PLEASE take it from me there is a REAL life out there.You just have to be strong enough to take a chance and walk away before it is too late.Life is too short anyways...then to let be even shortened by doing time in prison or being dead.If you live a real Gangsters life that is the only two ways out, prison or death. There are so many other things out there in life for you." Tina

These rehabilitated youth are assisted by Gang Outreach in securing employment. A certificate of completion is awarded to those individuals who have successfully progressed through our seven-level Transitions program. The average time frame for most individuals is from three to six months, depending on their willingness to change.
