Hardknox Gang Prevention & Intervention's mission is to help at-risk youth entangled within today’s gang culture take small steps, in big ways, that lead to big changes within their lives. Every day, they strive to understand our youth and their perception of the world that surrounds them. Hardknox Gang Prevention & Intervention is here to help our youth create new visions and new goals that challenge them beyond what they believed possible through a process of determination, focus, and perseverance.
