Mission Statement
To create peaceful, healthy and thriving communities by eliminating street violence through the power of core influencers and their networks directly involved in, and impacted by, that violence.
About This Cause
Our purpose at Uncornered is to support youth and young adults who we call Core Influencers in their leadership to transform urban communities. We do this with a goal to cultivate safe, thriving environments where both individuals and cities can fully flourish. Through a combination of education, targeted financial support, and essential mental health services, we leverage the power of mentoring from those with lived experiences, set high expectations, promote college education, and provide pro-social behavior skills training. This comprehensive approach empowers our Core Influencers to not only thrive but also tap into their dedication to ushering their communities into a brighter, more promising future. Uncornered provides Core Influencers - individuals who are involved with and connected to street violence - with the support, resources, and empowerment to harness their influence for good. Along their journey, Core Influencers across our Uncornered cities receive: - Financial and mental health support: A regular stipend for Catalysts covers basic needs and offers stability so they can focus on their growth, and mental health support helps them learn to open up and ask for help - College & career resources: Leads empower Catalysts to re-engage education pathways in their own neighborhoods that prepare Catalysts for employment - Coaching and mentorship: Leads prepare Catalysts to engage and guide active gang-involved young adults in their Networks on a journey from the street corner to college and careers - The power of hope for greater impact: Above all, we truly believe in and foster the expertise and value of active and former gang-involved individuals to become agents of change for their cities The proven impact of redirecting the entrepreneurial, networking, and leadership skills of Core Influencers from violence and incarceration to educational pathways and employment shifts social norms across their neighborhoods. The result is a city where everyone can live without fear of violence and its sweeping impacts, instead offering hope and opportunity for all residents.
