Show Notes
Harrisburgs Group Violence Intervention program, aiming to reduce gun violence, is being revitalized with credible messengers. Despite challenges like job conflicts and new rules, the city is adjusting the setup to keep it going. Community members have mixed feelings, with some hopeful for increased street presence to deter youth from crime. The program, which has shown success in nearby York, is funded by a city grant, with most of it going towards leader salaries and training messengers. The city is seeking more individuals with lived experience for mentoring roles, and local officials, including a trained messenger, are committed to the effort.
