Community Crime Prevention and Intervention Services

Strengthening, Empowering and Engaging the Community to Keep Safe 

The Jacksonville Urban League is committed to reducing crimes in Jacksonville focusing on Prevention as a long-term strategy.  

• Prevention – reducing factors associated with at-risk behaviors and strengthening protective factors.

• Intervention – focus on individuals already engaged in at-risk behaviors.

Youth Development 

The JUL Youth Crime Prevention Program conducts activities and workshops focus on preparing youth to be self-sufficient, competent and contributing members of society by providing opportunities for youth to strengthen resilience skills and enhance critical thinking, problem solving and decision-making skills. Our current major sponsor is the Office of the State Attorney General working through a coalition of Florida Urban Leagues.
