Co-created with community a Gathering Place that provides green space, entertainment art workshops for families and children, skateboard design classes (summer), spoken word events, etc. Our Gathering Place creation alone transformed a vacant lot on one of our busiest thoroughfares in our Community. Which resulted in a 10% decrease in crime in the communities we have created gathering places.
