Evaluation of SAFER Latinos' Program to Prevent Youth Violence

The intervention community will receive 4 services: 1. community lay workers will do family outreach and assist families in networking with other families and accessing community services, facilitating parent-youth and family-school communication and homework help for children, and help with translation of school or government/official notices; 2. youth leaders will provide a supportive presence, help youth navigate the system at school so that they can get help if needed, disseminate information about job training and possibilities, and provide education about avoiding violence; 3. school support services will offer academic support, acculturation orientation, language, conflict resolution skills training, advocacy and referrals; 4. Youth drop-in center: will provide youth with an adult supervised place to "hang out", do homework, or participate in sports and job training.
