Health and Community Empowerment
Community Empowerment serves to build bridges in Broward County's under-served communities, specifically 33311, increase awareness of health disparities and empower youth to embrace a second chance through positive social development. Diversion and violence prevention programs, health initiatives, beautification projects, and community forums are all apart of the empowerment process.
