Vietnamese Gang Prevention Project

Vietnamese Gang Prevention Project has been created to counter the problems relating to community violence and gang activity within the Vietnamese community by having the youth lead the project. The program consists of 4 workshops that address issues such as building self-esteem, setting goals and future plans, understanding consequences of violence, unprotected sex, and substance abuse as related to gang activities. There is also a final event that is open up to all members of the Vietnamese community.
