OUR PROGRAMS
OC GRIP conducts a series of community-oriented campaigns, which are essential to the overall success of the program.
STUDENT MEETINGS
Monthly meetings are conducted by law enforcement with students identified by teachers and principals. The purpose is to make the student and parents accountable for the student’s improvement in behavior, academics and school attendance.
INTERVENTION MEETINGS
Intervention meetings are held with students and their parents who have been identified as needing extra support, resources, and encouragement to make good choices and reject criminal street gangs.
PARENT MEETINGS
Parent meetings are support meetings that provide parents and the community an educational support system. Parents volunteer as “parent-greeters” at their child’s school and become involved in neighborhood watch programs in their community.
STUDENT CURRICULUM
All 5th or 6th grade students at each elementary school receive gang prevention and education courses.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
OC GRIP partners with over 200 businesses that contribute their time and resources to help keep Orange County safe.
FACULTY PRESENTATIONS
Teachers, staff, and school administrators at every GRIP school are required to attend gang education training.
These programs are a result of the partnership between select schools and law enforcement and community partners.
OUR IMPACT
200 partners in 62 schools in 13 cities
Since 2007, through a partnership with selected schools that are at-risk for gang violence, GRIP has put thousands of kids between 8 and 13 years old through their program.
