Credible Messengers
In the context of community intervention, a credible messenger is someone who understands the culture and dynamics of the community, has a history or affiliation with that group, and has successfully transitioned away from past challenges. They are respected and trusted within the community and can communicate effectively to promote positive change, offering guidance and support while discouraging harmful behaviors. Credible messengers can be community leaders, former participants of difficult circumstances, or individuals who have strong connections to the community. They are essential in driving positive transformations and supporting prevention efforts.

Why our community needs a Dream Center:
Encourages creativity
and innovation:
When young people feel safe and supported, they are more likely to be creative and innovative. They can explore and experiment with their ideas without fear of judgment or failure.
Builds
confidence:
A safe space helps young people build confidence in themselves and their abilities. They feel empowered to take risks, try new things, and pursue their dreams.
Fosters positive
relationships:
In a safe space, young people can build positive relationships with peers and mentors who share their interests and passions. This can lead to lifelong connections and collaborations.
Provides a sense
of belonging:
A safe space can help young people feel like they belong and are valued. This can be especially important for those who may feel marginalized or excluded in other settings.
Reduction in
Recidivism Rates:
Access to safe spaces that provide resources and opportunities to justice-involved youth can help reduce recidivism rates by providing them with the tools they need to succeed and avoid future involvement with the justice system.
Improved
Mental Health:
Our youth often face trauma and mental health challenges. Safe spaces that provide mental health services, counseling, and support can help them heal and build resilience.
Increased Education
and Job Opportunities:
Safe spaces that offer educational and job training opportunities can help our young people build skills and gain employment, reducing their risk of getting involved with the justice system again.
Community
Building:
Safe spaces can provide a sense of community and belonging for youth, helping them feel connected to their neighborhoods and reducing feelings of isolation and alienation.
Equity and
Social Justice:
Access to safe spaces with resources and opportunities is a matter of equity and social justice. Many justice-involved youth come from marginalized communities that have historically faced systemic barriers to resources and opportunities. Safe spaces can help level the playing field and provide a path to success for all youth, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Overall, a safe space where youth can dream big is crucial for their personal growth, development, and well-being.
Team Pursuit exists to transform violence-impacted communities by building partnerships, fostering healing, and empowering youth toward peace, justice, and resilience.
