Who We Are
StreetSafe Bridgeport is a street-based, non-law enforcement program. It focuses on reducing youth violence, including group/gang and gun crime in the city. We work within six neighborhoods affected by poverty, substance misuse, crime, and blight. Our Outreach Workers grew up in Bridgeport. They have first-hand experience with the insidious problems facing our youth today. These highly-trained individuals help interrupt conflict and the cycle of youth violence. Our workers provide mentorship to at-risk youth. StreetSafe’s goal is to keep Bridgeport’s residents safe, allow our young people to thrive, and help our returning citizens.
