Program areas at GAP

Provided graffiti and community clean up services under various community cleanup programs. GAP works with the City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles to do graffiti removal and improve the quality of life in low income neighborhoods by eradicating graffiti and erasing the presence of gangs. The agency works with the City of Los Angeles, other non-profits and youth to clean and maintain the community from trash, weeds, bulky items, and litter.
Provided gang prevention programs. My Gangfree Life Program is provided to 2nd, 4th and 6th grade students. Its a 6-8 week gang prevention program which exposes both the realities of gang involvement and the alternatives available to young people. Students first discuss gang history, gang culture, vandalism and behaviors. Then, students are introduced to positive alternatives and techniques for achievement, and are encouraged and assisted to set goals and make positive lifestyle choices. After school, services are also provided to youth in elementary schools three hours per day. The program focuses on academic performance, enrichment activities, homework assistance, sports, and STEM education.
Other community enhancing programs and services.
