UBot4 Youth

 

Getting out of a gang isn’t easy, but it can be done with the right resources. Young people make the decision to have a better life everyday.  So can you!

STEP 1: Choose to make a change in your life.

Begin believing in yourself and in your power to change. 

STEP 2: Know that there is someone who will support you, believe in you and help you make positive decisions.

Reach out to the adult(s) in your life that make good choices.  This might be a parent/family member, teacher, coach, minister, school resource officer or janitor.  Then use these people to help support you as you change your life with good advice and assistance.

STEP 3: Contact Gang of One to learn about the many resources that are available to help you including recreation centers, sports, arts programs and theater/youth groups.

 

 

Joining a gang is never a good idea.  It can put you and your family in danger. Although membership is sometimes temporary, it can have long term negative effects on your future. 

Gang members frequently drop out of school and/or end up in jail.  As a result, it is more difficult to find a job.  Many members suffer from alcohol or drug abuse. Ultimately, some gang members are seriously injured or even killed.

 

You do not have to join a gang - Be your own Gang of One!
