Last spring, High Point Community Against Violence, Inc., High Point Parks and Recreation and several other community partners sponsored our first Off the Streets event for High Point youth. It was held the first Saturday of spring break for Guilford County School students. The purpose was to offer an opportunity for fun and fellowship while delivering a message that crime would not be tolerated during this time off from school. We created this event because our local statistics showed that crime rates went up when school was out.
We will hold another Off the Streets this year, so stay tuned for more information about it!
