T.O.U.C.H Outreach
T.0.U.C.H. works to transform community safety in Minneapolis through a variety of strategies focused on youth development and community security. T.0.U.C.H provides expertise in the areas of employment, mentoring, and youth services. The program utilizes street patrols to build relationships and de-escalate conflicts before they lead to violence. Outreach team members and leadership are credible messengers for this work, as people who have experienced street violence directly and understand the impact violence has on communities. They are trusted figures with strong relationships in the community.
“A hometown hero doesn’t always have to wear a cape, badge or carry a gun, but is someone who looks just like you that sacrifice their life for their community to become a safer and better place.”
