The Model will use credible messengers who are indigenous to Philadelphia’s most violent neighborhoods as outreach workers with the mission of fostering meaningful relationships in these communities, steering those involved in criminal activities into alternative positive choices, mediating neighborhood conflicts, and responding to neighborhood crises.
