Violence prevention is a topic of conversation across the country. On June 2, the City of Greensboro will unveil a new initiative making violence prevention a priority in the Gate City.
Called GSO Peace on Purpose, the initiative is part of the Office of Community Safety’s (OCS) Violence Prevention Program.
The Peace on Purpose kickoff takes place from 3-7 pm Friday, June 2, at Barber Park, 1500 Barber Rd., and is free and open to the public. June 2 is also National Gun Violence Awareness Day and will be recognized during this event as well.
City management team members will be on hand to talk about violence prevention with residents.
Activities include free food, games, music, entertainment, community art projects, and more. Several community organizations will be on-site to provide information about their offerings, such as mentoring programs, mental health services, and after school and summer programs for youth.
OCS is sponsoring the event with supporting partners the Greensboro Police Department, Parks and Recreation Department, and Creative Greensboro.
