Don Bosco Hall Receives Study Grant
The Prevention Network through the Skillman Foundation granted Don Bosco Hall a study grant to conduct a site visit of the Omega Boys Club in San Francisco, California. The Omega Boys Club is a "best practice" organization that has a long history of providing violence prevention, school support services and counseling to at-risk youth in the Bay Area. Don Bosco Hall hopes to use the knowledge learned from the study trip to strengthen programs within the local Detroit community. The grant is part of the Skillman Foundation's, "Good Neighborhoods Initiative". The Good Neighborhoods Initiative is providing grant funds within six neighborhoods within the city of Detroit. The overall goal of the grant is to help improve the quality of life for children and youth within their Detroit neighborhoods.
