The North 4 program creates new pathways to success for gang/clique involved young men, ages 16- 21, who live in four North Minneapolis neighborhoods. The program allows participants the opportunity to:
- Learn leadership and life skills and utilize work-readiness training sessions
- Access one-on-one job coaching and on-going individual support sessions
- Participate, plan and lead community engagement activities/events and retreat-style activities
Throughout the past few years of EMERGE hosting this program, we have found that:
- Youth stay engaged for the 16-week program and demonstrate positive behavior change while engaged
- Youth obtain & retain employment at higher rates than the general population of North Minneapolis youth
- Youth avoid juvenile justice involvement
