S.O.S. Updates

From Save Our Streets:

Hello S.O.S. Supporters! We hope you are enjoying a safe and peaceful beginning of fall. As the leaves change and the air grows cooler, we will continue to fight against gun violence in Crown Heights, and we need your support more than ever. We have some good news to share and some good opportunities for the community to get involved.

-It has been 83 days since the last shooting in the S.O.S. catchment area. Keep it up, Crown Heights!

-We are recruiting immediately for two paid Americorps volunteers. Americorps is a national service program that provides a living stipend and an education award upon completion of one year of service. We are looking for program assistants for YO S.O.S. and S.O.S. If you are interested or know someone who might be, please call the office as soon as possible! 718-773-6886.

-Our youth anti-violence program, Youth Organizing to Save Our Streets (YO S.O.S.,) is now accepting applications! YO SOS is youth organizing training for 14-17 year olds who are interested in ending violence in their neighborhoods. Check out the YO S.O.S. website (www.yosos.org) for an application, or stop by the office.
