Mission Statement
Uncornered has a vision of violence-free neighborhoods that leads to community change from the inside-out by turning to Core Influencers - those who are both active and former gang-involved individuals who have the proximity and credibility to reach those involved in community violence and can be catalysts for change in their communities. Uncornered hires, trains and supports full-time mentors who are close to violence in their communities and networks to recruit and redirect those actively involved in violence in their journey to stop violent activities and instead, shift their mindset to lead their cities to peace.
About This Cause
Following a successful demonstration pilot project from July to December 2022 in Kansas City, KC Uncornered will raise $4M in 2023 to directly stipend 100 active gang involved individuals to engage a total of 500 Core Influencers through on the ground outreach, mentoring, mental health support, and other life coaching skills. Nearly 70% of the budget is invested directly to Core Influencers (full-time mentors and catalysts), 20% to support services for Core Influencers (mental health support, academic and workforce training), and just over 10% for operational support (administrative overhead in KC). In 2023, 70% of catalysts will not return to violent activities or incarceration, 80% will re-engage in an education or employment pathway and this small powerful group connecting to support services will start to show a path to reduction in overall community violence. With the right scale of investment, we can reduce shootings and homicides from nearly 800 in 2022 to less than 450 by 2025. Homicides will be reduced to less than 150, down from 250 in 2022.
