Our Programs

The YPI team works with each community to adapt YPI programs to strengthen neighborhood relationships. By inviting participants to engage in meaningful conversations, YPI aims to replace stereotypes with understanding and trust...

  • Individual TrainingĀ 

    Local youth and police officers engage in discussions, games, and role plays to build their public speaking and facilitation skills, get to know each other on a personal level, and learn from each other.

  • Train the TrainerĀ 

    Over the course of four YPI trainings, this licensed approach aims at certifying a local team of up to six trainers to lead their own YPIs at the end of their training.

  • Follow Up

    Research has shown the importance of long-term commitments and recommends sustaining positive relationships between youth and officers.

    YPI supports Local officers as they work with the youth in each YPI workshop to agree on at least one follow-up activity to further support the relationships they have built.
