Safe Youth.

Violent crime in Tacoma has nearly doubled in the last 12 months. Now, more than ever before, youth in our community need safe spaces to live and thrive. The Safe Youth campaign is a collective effort to increase opportunities, civic engagement, and overall quality of life for the young people in our city. Our goal is to:

  • Reduce racial disparities by developing leadership skills among youth and fostering a sense of community
  • Increase quality out of school time learning opportunities
  • Increase civic engagement among youth and trust in public institutions in Tacoma
  • Increase positive public perception of safety and overall quality of life
