Alive & Free Movement Baltimore
The Alive & Free Movement was created in 2006 in response to the increasing numbers of inner city youth dropping out of school and being incarcerated or killed. This violence prevention program focuses on recruiting, teaching, and developing “Street Soldiers” — people committed to eliminating violence in their own lives and in their communities. To raise awareness of this model, the Street Soldiers National Consortium along with the Safe Healing Foundation hosted their 2nd annual Alive & Free National Conference in Baltimore, Maryland. The Alive & Free Prescription was developed by the Omega Boys Club/Street Soldiers—a nationally recognized youth development and violence prevention organization located in San Francisco, CA. The Street Soldiers National Consortium is a group of organizations that have been trained in the use of the Alive & Free Prescription. The Baltimore Consortium member is the Safe Healing Foundation.
