Gang Intervention Program to Be Launched at School
Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alatorre announced Tuesday that the L.A. Bridges gang intervention program will be started at Burbank Middle School in Highland Park.
The city-funded L.A. Bridges program targets students and their families at the middle school level in an effort to dissuade them from joining gangs. At least 1,700 youngsters from Burbank Middle School and the surrounding neighborhood will be served by the program.
“L.A. Bridges is one of the most innovative programs in the city,” Alatorre said during the Northeast Community Resources Fair. “We feel privileged to have this much-needed program in Highland Park.”
