Youth services
Project Ujima serves youth ages 7-18 who are victims of peer to peer violence as a result of:
Gun shot wounds.
- Stabbings and/or physical assaults.
Project Ujima services for youth include:
- Visits at the hospital and at home with community liaisons and/or the Project Ujima nurse.
- Support for youth and family members, help with school and court advocacy.
- Enrichment activities and help with locating resources for the family.
The average child is involved with Project Ujima for 15 months. In that time, youth build self-esteem and social skills through many positive experiences, including mentoring, support groups, summer camps and more.
