New Elm City Dream's goals
include uniting the youth from
different neighborhoods in
New Haven to push for jobs
for youth and jobs for all. We
highlight job creation for youth
as one of the solutions to
ending violence, and link
economic factors to the
violence. We teach youth to
take leadership and organize
for peace in their
communities. The youth in
New Elm City Dream also
push for opening youth
centers such as the Q House
as another solution to
violence. We show that
