About G.R.E.A.T. - Gang Resistance Education and Training
Glendale’s G.R.E.A.T. Program started in 1991 and now has 30 schools participating. 4th grade – 4-week program involving approximately 2,900 students. 7th grade – 13-week program involving approximately 3,300 students.
The mission of the G.R.E.A.T., Gang Resistance Education and Training, program is to provide a wide range of structured activities and classroom instruction for school-aged children that results in a sense of competency and the personal empowerment needed to avoid involvement in gangs. G.R.E.A.T. is a prevention program that seeks to reduce gang involvement and curb the increasing violence permeating communities. It is not an intervention program and does not alleviate the need for continued enforcement, along with referral services.
G.R.E.A.T. helps youth become responsible members of their communities by setting goals, resisting the pressure to join gangs, learning how to resolve conflict without violence and understanding the negative ramifications of gang involvement. To accomplish this the program has three main components: a 7th and 8th grade curriculum, 3rd and 4th grade sessions and a summer recreation/education program.
The ultimate goal of G.R.E.A.T. is to reduce gang involvement, thereby reducing violent behavior among the nation's youth. The program requires a commitment from government, education, the police department and above all, the community. G.R.E.A.T. is not the only answer; it is one of the tools with which to combine resources and positive change from the status quo.
