Gangstas to Growers

Gangstas to Growers Gangstas to Growers is a program focused on empowering at-risk youth and our formerly incarcerated through agriculture, employment, and entrepreneurship.

"Gangstas to Growers” will provide paid entrepreneurial internships for at-risk youth, former gang members and formerly incarcerated individuals to give them a chance to participate in the legitimate economy. Participants will be mentored by local farmers to plant, harvest, and vend produce to local restaurants and at a street side farmer’s market.

Cultural Programming

repost from From Sabar to Congo Square to Baton Rouge Jiggin, our people have always used rhythm to mark victory, survival, joy, and arrival.

So when our young people jigg across that graduation stage, it ain’t just dancing.

The diploma says, “I passed.”
The dance says, “We made it.”

Now I need one of these young people to teach me how to jigg before the next graduation. Don’t let me embarrass the ancestors. 😂✊🏿

repost from Personal altercations were the most common factor leading to up to a homicide for both men and women, according to the Atlanta Regional Commission, which is why communication and conflict resolution are central to most violence prevention programs.

During his time in G2G, Wilson said he’s become a better communicator and learned how to deal with conflict using Warriors, Healers and Builders, a framework designed for people of the African diaspora to heal from generational trauma to build a more resilient future.
