Orange County: Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership
It’s pretty well documented that some kids turn to street gangs to fill holes in their lives. Maybe one or both parents are absent. Maybe there’s not enough money to buy food or keep the utilities on at home. Maybe there’s not a home to begin with. Maybe some young people turn to gangs because they don’t know there’s another way, and you can’t blame them for making a bad choice when they think it’s the only choice they have. In Orange County, the Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership (GRIP) is offering kids a better choice.
