Uncornering violence in our communities: a path to a peaceful future.
About us
Uncornered utilizes a bold approach to transform urban communities into violence-free neighborhoods by using the power of Core Influencers to unlock the potential of individuals and cities. Core Influencers and Catalysts are both active and former gang-involved leaders who have the proximity and credibility to impact violence in their communities. Uncornered harnesses the power of Core Influencers and Catalysts, giving them support to move from disruption to positive impact. The Uncornered approach provides a college-focused education to empower young people to move away from negative behaviors, instead using their brilliance and leadership to become positive agents of community change. It has key evidence-based components that combine the credibility and trust of community-based mentors, the scaffold of high expectations, and the stability of financial support to provide support, time, and space that Core Influencers and Catalysts need to heal, learn, grow, and succeed. With this scaffold, individuals begin to lift up themselves and influence their crews/networks to create change in their communities.

In 2018, the United Nations declared January 24th the International Day of Education to celebrate the role of education in peace and development. When the UN adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the international community recognized that education is essential for the success of all 17 goals. At #Uncornered, we witness the transformative power of education on establishing lasting peace in our communities every day. We want to honor this day by celebrating our Core Influencers who are utilizing educational opportunities and resources to lead their cities to #Peace. #InternationalDayofEducation

Uncornered’s impact is clear– our community-driven approach has the ability to make a powerful difference. Together, we’re offering the resources needed to create safer neighborhoods and empower individuals to embrace a brighter future. #Uncornered #EndGunViolence #UncorneredUS
