The El Barrio East Harlem Youth Violence Task Force is a collaborative organization that aims to address the rise in youth violence in the El Barrio East Harlem neighborhood of New York City. Founded by Council Member Melissa Mark-Viverito, the Task Force brings together youth and community organizations to develop positive alternatives to gang and gun violence. Their platform, which was released after extensive community discussions and meetings with young people, calls for collective action from government, law enforcement, non-profits, parents, schools, and the community to address the issue of youth violence. In addition to their work on youth violence, the Task Force also organizes events and initiatives to support the youth in the community. They host an annual Teen Fair that connects young people with services in the community as they prepare to go back to school. The fair includes free food, live music and dance performances, and a backpack giveaway. The Task Force also advocates for improved physical education programs in schools to combat youth obesity, highlighting the disparities in low-income communities. Through their collaborative efforts, the Task Force aims to create a safer and healthier environment for the youth of El Barrio East Harlem.Generated from the website
