Services Include:

 

• Conferences and Summits - We organize three annual Regional Professional Development conferences addressing the national epidemic of youth gun violence. These events bring together stakeholders to share best practices and ideas for supporting youth development.

• Systems Trainings - We offer training for systems involved with children and youth, which may contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline and mistrust in law enforcement. Clients often choose multiple sessions or extended consultancy services, ranging from 1-3 years.

• U-turn’s Signature Events: Teen Chats & The Turning Point - In alignment with the United Nation's call for safe spaces for youth, we create environments where young people can express themselves and solve problems. This includes virtual platforms on Facebook and Instagram, as well as community events.

• Community Engagement - We engage with the community to address the school-to-prison pipeline and reduce gun violence, connecting with individuals in their local areas.
