| Brief Description of Presentation<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t | Street gangs are an ever-changing and continuous growing society that poses a threat to our youth. Though unorganized they have a global influence on society, culture and economics. The war is no longer just in the streets; it's in our schools, at your front door and in many homes. Youth are at higher risk of joining a gang if they engage in delinquent behaviors, are aggressive or violent, have an unstable home environment, experience many problems at school, associate with or be-friend other gang-involved youth, or live in communities where they feel unsafe. Therefore, to protect our youth, the gang situation must be addressed from a holistic perspective. It takes everyone working together to implement layers of protective circles so strong that no youth falls prey to the gangster influence and propaganda. We must have strong families and communities to combat this age-old evil that continues to drain us of one of our greatest natural resources\u2026our youth. Parents, teachers and community providers must embrace every opportunity to learn how to manage disruptive behavior and improve interpersonal skills in our young citizens. Communities must be proactive and acknowledge the potential for gang activity even when it is not prevalent. Born of FTC's CEO's deep-seated passion to call communities to action on a problem that is literally killing our future (our youth) and contributing to the family institution's destruction this Gang Awareness Series incorporates FTC's unique methodology for sharing prevention and intervention strategies.<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |
