HISTORY

[Gang Risk Intervention Project]


June 30th, 2000

GRIP began three years ago as a desire to help teens that are headed for trouble.

Through conversation with Counseling professionals and independent research,  that desire became a decision to work towards instilling values and competencies in teens that they will need to become successful adults.

Three years of development has produced a simple program that generates total involvement at every level of community.

Gaining endorcement from community leaders came late in 1999.

Achieving 501(c)3 status was accomplished early in the year 2000.

Aside from a few administrative details the Project was ready to be launched by the summer of 2000.
