Community Violence Intervention

If you live in a community with violence, it affects your life every day. You want to do something about the violence. At the same time, you want the people involved to get help. You believe that solutions come from within the community and above all, you want the approach you use to work.

Why CVI?

Our Program Director Eddie Franz explains why he, and ultimately we, do CVI work in Austin, TX.  It is life changing for us to see high risk individuals choose a safer and more successful path in life.
