Community Violence Intervention Services
Southern California Crossroads has teams of Community Intervention Workers who support street outreach and community violence intervention strategies in various parts of Los Angeles County. Southern California Crossroads has a longstanding history in the community as credible messengers and peacemakers. Our Street Outreach team specializes in crisis response, conflict resolution, and safe passage in communities such as Compton, Lynwood , Willowbrook and neighboring communities. They work to identify conflicts within the community and respond to calls regarding gang violence confrontations. Crossroads Community Intervention Workers provided community wide crisis response when needed to support incidents of violence and promote peacemaking efforts in times of need.
“Our communities deserve peace and to feel safe. We have youth in need and we need trusted organizations. Crossroads has built relationships in the community and has earned our trust. Their mission is to reduce violence and promote peace and we stand behind that. They are in the schools, and we see them in the community. We are thankful for the efforts of the organization and welcome them into the community” - Community Resident in Watts
