CoSo is under the leadership of Daphne White, Chief Executive Officer, and the Board of Directors. The organization is focused on being gang-proactive by providing programs and services to the at-risk youth, their families and communities. CoSo research shows that the lack of structure and opportunities available to at-risk youth less than 22 years of age is beginning of these youth to seek a replacement for the missing elements of their lives. CoSo has developed a model to address the concerns:
A. Community Mobilization
B. Opportunities
C. Social Interactions
D. Organizational Change and Development
CoSo is addressing the gang problems through a partnership with local schools, church based organizations, and recreational programs with both short-range and long-range to begin a suppression and abatement strategy. This includes segments of the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative which embraces programs coordinated by the department of Education, Department of Health and Human services and the Department of Justice.
