With the goal to prevent and reduce violence, the Urban Peace Institute provides trainings for gang intervention workers, public sector leaders, law enforcement agencies, and community residents. To date, our organization has trained over 4,700 peacemakers in over 15 regions across the country!

Our trainings guide participants to implement effective strategies to increase public safety and community health. We also demonstrate how to build trust between residents and public stakeholders to ensure neighborhood safety. While based in Los Angeles, we also provide tailored support and technical assistance to cities throughout California including Long Beach, San Bernardino, Fresno, Sacramento, Oxnard, Santa Ana, and Oakland.

Since 2011, we have also provided our innovative trainings and technical assistance to communities across the country including New York and Chicago, as well as Jackson, Mississippi, Columbus, Ohio, Memphis, Tennessee, and Wilmington, Delaware. By continuing to provide trainings and unique support to diverse regions throughout the county, the Urban Peace Institute remains committed to ending gun and gang violence.
