Cocoon Project Safe

Cocoon Project SAFE provides intervention and support
to parents experiencing difficulties with their teens.
Through phone consultations and educational groups
parents and guardians receive services to strengthen the
family and ultimately prevent youth from leaving the
home. The goal is to keep families intact and youth off
the streets and out of harm's way.

WA State School Safety Center

In response to concerns about the influence of gang
presence on school safety, the 2007 Legislature directed
OSPI to convene a task force to study the problem of
gangs in schools. The Gangs in Schools Task Force began
its work in November 2007, and will make annual reports
and recommendations to the legislature on methods of
eliminating existing gangs, preventing new gangs, sharing
information about gangs, and gathering intelligence on
gangs.

National Youth Gang Center

The NYGC conducts assessments of the scope and
characteristics of youth gang activity in the United
States, develops resources and makes them available to
the field, and provides training and technical assistance
in support of community-based prevention, intervention,
and suppression efforts.

Northwest Gangs
The Northwest Gangs website was made to give general
information on street gang activity in the Pacific
Northwest, with a specific focus on youth and young
adult street gangs (e.g. Bloods, Crips, Folk Nation, People
Nation, Nortenos and Surenos). The site lists several
hundred local gangs and is update weekly.
