Police officials are launching a summer youth mentorship program that aims to offer some 2,000 young New Yorkers a safe place to spend their time while also preempting criminal activity in their communities.
“We have 14 locations around the city, one minimum in all five boroughs, and some boroughs you have two or three depending on the need. We put it in areas of low-income where we see violence,” Foster explained. “Most of my victims are young people, most of my shooters are young people.” “You’d be amazed when we get these kids, and they say ‘I wouldn’t know what I’d be doing. I could have made a left, I could have made a right.’ But there’s no stat for that, for the kids that we are saving,” Commissioner Stewart said.
“The impact of changing a young person’s life is what it is all about,” Foster noted. “But the officers get so much out of this too.”
