- Serve African American males ages 14-24 in high-crime areas;
- Provide intervention or prevention services to adults or youth currently interacting with the criminal justice system; and/or
- Improve neighborhood safety within the six focus-areas designated by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD).
