Devereux Kids was established in 1999 to involve parents and community residents in training, relationship building and skill development to increase the safety and well being of children, youth and families within their own neighborhoods. Our strategies are designed to effectively facilitate, organize, engage and connect both formal and informal community resources to create a system of support for families. Devereux Kids' three prevention strategies are Community Facilitation, Community Learning, and Community Involvement.
