Building Safe & Supportive Spaces
The event focused on creating welcoming and protective environments where youth could thrive. Activities encouraged safety and nonviolence while highlighting the collective role neighbors play in building stronger communities.
Why It Matters
By hosting this event, Grandma’s House and the Mayor’s Office of Violence Reduction (MOVR) demonstrated the power of community-driven solutions. When families, leaders, and neighbors come together, youth gain the support they need to imagine brighter, violence-free futures.
