S.T.R.O.N.G. Talks
S.T.R.O.N.G. Talks are workshops and assemblies that motivate, educate, and empower both adults and youth on the importance of reducing gang and youth violence. With an array of inspirational speakers who share real-life experiences and tangible truths, our STRONG Talks carry the message of non-violence and community empowerment to thousands.
Every workshop and assembly is tailored to the needs of your group, school, or organization. STRONG Talks is our organization's main source of fundraising.
