At C.R.E.W.S. (Communities Respecting Everyone’s Will to Survive), we are committed to the healing and development of our community. One of the ways we achieve this is through our Safe Passage program, which is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for our youth as they travel to and from school. We understand that creating a secure path for our children is essential for their well-being and success.
Our mission with the Safe Passage program is to ensure that every child in our community can attend school without fear of violence, bullying, or inappropriate behavior. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment.
Through our program, we aim to build a community where our youth can thrive and reach their full potential.
Our Safe Passage program operates on the principle of community collaboration. We partner with local community-based organizations, churches, and individuals who share our dedication to the betterment of the black community. Each of these organizations specializes in specific skill sets that contribute to the healing and restoration of our community.
Our Safe Passage team members undergo rigorous training to ensure they are equipped to provide the
highest level of support and security for our youth. Training includes:
Conflict Resolution: Team members are trained in conflict resolution techniques to de-escalate any
potential altercations peacefully.
Emergency Response: We prepare our team members to respond swiftly and effectively to any
emergencies that may arise during the Safe Passage hours.
Mentoring: Our team members act as mentors and positive role models for the youth, fostering a sense
of trust and community.
Cultural Competency: Cultural sensitivity training ensures that our team members understand the
unique needs and challenges of the black community.
Communication Skills: Effective communication is crucial in providing support and maintaining a safe
environment. Our team members are skilled in communication techniques that foster a positive
atmosphere.
Safe Passage is more than just a program; it’s a commitment to our community’s future. By ensuring that our youth can attend school without fear, we are investing in their education and overall well-
being. We believe that a safe path to school is a path to success, and we’re dedicated to making that a reality for every child in our community.
