MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN SCHOOLS
BENEATH THE BADGE INTO SCHOOLS
Beneath the Badge Inc is an after school program which partners with schools and local law enforcement to build relationships between at-risk youth.
About
Beneath the Badge is a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the relationship between law enforcement and youth in schools. Our vision involves actively working to change the mindset of our youth, and reduce fears of the presence of law enforcement.
Making a Difference in Schools
Our Goal
Our goal is to serve as an after school program at a socioeconomically disadvantaged elementary school. We are expecting to host 1 school during the Fall 2017 school year as an after school program. Beneath the Badge focus is to have local law enforcement officers volunteer to develop and teach youth: about their rights as youth, the law as is may apply to them, tutorials, and to mentor special individuals. As social servants, we understand the importance and need for building relationship in our schools, in order to serve the whole child.
