Programs and Services
CREATIVE ARTS SUMMER CAMP AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS: FROM TRAGEDY TO TRIUMPH
Our Mission is to expose gun violence survivors to therapeutic modalities that may be absent from their current grieving and coping methods. With a focus on the inclusion of creative arts, equip survivors with strategies to healthily endure the complexities of loss- while promoting community health and solidarity.
THE TRARON CENTER CONSULTING
TraRon Center Consulting seeks to guide community groups/organizations with two sources of support: (1) Provide loved ones of gun violence victims with the mental and emotional outlets to start and continue their paths to healing; (2) Educate, engage, and empower the community through political education and activism.
Our Mission is to provide a model for organizations and community groups to provide victims, survivors, and their respective communities with the structures and supports necessary to healthily endure the complexities of loss. While promoting community health and solidarity, provide platforms that effectively engage affected individuals in their political arenas such that it fosters and empowers their participation in local and citywide political processes- from policy conception to implementation.
PUTTING THE ACT IN ACTIVISM: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE
Our Mission is to provide a safe, supportive space for members of the community to acquire the organizing and political knowledge necessary to create, support, and endorse platforms that benefit and serve them directly. By providing supports that affectively engage them in their political arenas, empower community members to participate in local and citywide political processes from policy conception to implementation.
