Change

Imagine a world so small that the only choices are survival, firearms, and gangs. From an early age, knowing that it’s easier to get a gun than a fresh fruit or vegetable. Walking through five gang strongholds on the way to elementary school isn’t a nightmare but a reality for those living in San Joaquin County.

Words may inspire, but action creates change.

The Story of our Neighborhood Change Agents

Advance Peace San Joaquin recognizes that introducing dreams and an alternative lifestyle is where the work begins. Neighborhood Change Agents are a fixture in the community, always available to listen, talk, and help those in need find a non-violent solution to complex realities. Change happens one step at a time through group conversations, trips to new cities and countries, and one-on-one support. Here’s our impact to date.
