The Phoenix Anti-gang curriculum is used to reduce the risk factors for delinquent behaviors by increasing protective factors which strengthen students’ ability to adapt healthy behaviors. Students who demonstrate one or more of the following benefit: poor conduct, failing in multiple subjects in school, truant and reside in gang territories within Midtown Elizabeth. Referrals come from neighborhood schools, churches, parents and partnering agencies. This program is available to students in our after school and tutoring programs. Grades 3rd to 8th grades

Eligibility: Must be at risk.
Program goal: To reduce risk factors for violent behavior among school age children by increasing factors which strengthen their capacity to adopt healthy behaviors

Performing Arts Program: The Performing Arts Program includes music and drama clubs, music workshop, and vocal and instrumental training.  The participants perform at local nursing homes, churches, hospitals, and various community events during Black History Month, Haitian Heritage Month, and during the holiday seasons.  The Arts Enrichment Program is an arts-and-crafts approach that  engage participants in ways that encourage a sense of civic responsibility (e.g., painting positive messages on JPM’s trailer), enable less academically-inclined students to express themselves in a different way, teach the use of different media, and utilize the arts in communicating ideas.   This program is available to students enroll in our after school and tutoring program.
