Peace Makers
Faith Community of St. Sabina's Peace Makers program is dedicated to helping young men walk away from gang and gun violence by providing them with wrap-around services such as mentoring, education, and employment opportunities. St. Sabina has four Peace Maker Outreach Workers, who provide resources to youth in the community and refer them to various programs that will help get them off of the street. The outreach workers also serve as mediators amongst gang members, working to deescalate potential violent behavior or gang retaliation before it occurs.
