How Memphis Plans to Stop the Violence with Jobs

Addressing Violence Through Workforce Development: The central theme of the initiative is the belief that providing sustainable employment opportunities is a crucial strategy for reducing violence and crime in Memphis. Power Media Solutions, in partnership with Persevere and other community stakeholders, is leading a significant initiative in Memphis through the VCIF grant. The program is strategically focused on addressing violence by empowering residents, particularly justice-impacted individuals, with valuable job skills and providing comprehensive support for successful re-entry and long-term employment. The emphasis on collaboration and a holistic approach to individual development suggests a robust and impactful strategy for community transformation. #memphis #bluffcity
