Gang Prevention Services

Gang prevention services at YEI are tailored to young women exposed to environments affected by gang activity, members and affiliations. YEI operates this program as part of the Multnomah County Gang Prevention Services Network which offers culturally and gender specific programming to youth and families throughout Multnomah County.  Services include academic support, intensive case management, skill building, assessments and referrals, support groups and recreational activities.  The primary goals of GPS are to increase academic success, pro-social and employment skills and offer advocacy for youth at risk of gang involvement.
