Gang Reduction & Youth Development (GRYD)
We partner with the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) to provide gang intervention services to current and/or former gang members, their families, and others affected by the influence of gangs in the San Fernando Valley.
CIS’s GRYD program works to help youth develop positive life skills, strengthen family relationships, and create safe communities. We encourage youth to develop their own leadership styles and incorporate positive choices throughout their daily lives.
Each GRYD participant works closely with a case manager who will assist in setting and achieving participant goals, provide participants & their families with supportive services, help youth explore educational & employment opportunities, and much more.
Some services provided to GRYD participants include:
- Job Trainings & Placements
- Enrollment in Educational Opportunities
- Court Advocacy
- Tattoo Removal
- Legal Services
- Life Skills Support
- Goal Planning & Development
- Financial Family Support
- Transportation Support
- Community Engagement
