    Increase the Peace

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $120,000

    #IncreaseThePeace’s (ITP) overall objective is to build collective power in communities of color by empowering its most important asset: its youth leaders. Doing this results in an increase in overall community well-being through empowering neighborhood residents to take ownership over their community. This approach focuses on community organizing training, community actions, policy advocacy, and building informal mechanisms (a dense web of civic relationships) of power within the community to deter violence instead of relying solely on established institutions. Ultimately, ITP seeks to be the catalyst of change within communities affected by the persistence of violence by equipping residents with the tools to make systemic change.
