EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Civilian/Professional Identification and Awareness Programs:
As
the
“gangster”
culture
continues
to
overwhelm
our
communities,
it
is
important
to
understand
how
these
criminal
organizations
promote
&
expand
their
criminal
networks.
G-STEPs’
Identification
and
Awareness
programs
are
specifically
designed
to
educate
professionals,
community
leaders
and
families
on
how
to
recognize
gang
recruitment,
understand
history
&
ideologies,
become
proactive
towards
the
future
and
prevent further dangers to our youth & community.
The
G-STEP

and
Awareness
programs

groups

and

organizations.
These
programs
are
designed
to
support
all
of
those
who
are seeking to become proactive in understanding and combating the gang influence seen in today’s youth.
Youth-Based Educational Programs:
Unfortunately,
many
anti-gang
programs
that
look
to
educate
young
adults
on
the
dangers
of
gangs
do
so
in
the
same
manner
as
adult
educational
programs,
that
could
potentially
encourage
the
curiosities
of
young
minds.
G-STEP,
LLC
focuses
on
the
false
promises
and
negative
impacts
that
are
brought
onto
oneself
and
their
families
when
associating
with
and/or
joining
a
gang.
The
realities
of
personal
injuries,
imprisonment
and
potential
death
that
are
associated
within
the
“gangster”
lifestyle
are
emphasized
in
an
effort to encourage positive decision-making.
