The pervasiveness of gangs throughout our society is undeniable. They incite fear and violence, threatening our schools, our children, and our homes. Gangs today are more sophisticated and flagrant in their use of violence and intimidation tactics. As they proliferate in schools and neighborhoods, they bring with them drugs, weapons, and criminal activity.
The Guardian Angels possess a unique ability to make an impact with students, teachers and parents. Today's volunteers hail from diverse professional backgrounds - education, law enforcement, information technology, and law - reflecting the new challenges that face our communities. At the same time, the Guardian Angels still carry the "street cred" that is so essential to earning the respect of young people participating in their educational programs.
Research and experience have shown us that one-shot programs or even limited anti-gang/violence education programs for students and staff do not initiate long term, positive change in behavior for children. Students as well as adults need constant reinforcement as to how their words and actions will affect people around them.
Our programs attack the problem from many angles, emphasizing and reinforcing gang resistance in school, home and community.
