Change and a good future are possible. It all starts with a decision to want that change and to understand that it takes an attitudinal adjustment and a willingness to work out the truly important relationships in our lives.
It's all about ATTITUDE, RELATIONSHIPS, COMMUNICATION and good DECISION-MAKING.


Hispanic youth gangs plague communities and schools throughout the country, but particularly the Southwestern United States. The number of Hispanic youth gangs in our communities is growing rapidly and unabated. The mode of operation and culture of these Hispanic youth gangs are different from that of other ethnic gangs. The great majority of adolescent gang members now use the Internet (namely MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, and similar social networking sites) to announce their affiliation and communicate their loyalty and intentions, in addition to promoting the name and spirit of their gang.

Operation No Gangs will help your organization to understand what makes the gang tick and stick, how it recruits members, what gang activities involve, what gang graffiti means, how gangs are structured, how they regulate their members, how gangs communicate with rivals and the community at large. Social service agencies who want to learn about how to work with and understand the gang-affiliated adolescent will benefit greatly from understanding the belief system and culture of the Hispanic gang.
