Mission Statement
"Saving Lives, Restoring Communities, Providing Hope, Implementing Answers And Solutions Through Self-Reliance And Self-Determination.” THE BROTHERHOOD UNIFIED FOR INDEPENDENT LEADERSHIP THROUGH DISCIPLINE PROGRAM, (BUILD) recognizes that effective community intervention programs must focus on assessing & addressing the needs of the individuals in the targeted neighborhoods we serve as well as speaking to the social conditions of all affected therein. Developing action plans to tackle gaps in services and providing practitioner based hands-on engagement, along with necessary & comprehensive training, is essential to implement the essential needed strategies. BUILD has been providing targeted violence prevention/gang intervention, high-risk Incident response, comprehensive public safety training, community mobilization, and cooperative activism in Los Angeles since 1992. We operate through a proactive, culturally-sensitive, cost-effective approach in addressing communal violence is designed to increase community safety by reducing community/gang/person-to-person violence through direct interventions that focus on the highest risk places, people and behaviors and by providing holistic, integrated human services to those affected by violence. The community plays a major role in the strategy, as does practitioner-based, specialized training and implementation of cultural competence and trauma-informed responsiveness.
