Rooted in evidence-based and promising practices in youth development and violence prevention, the Triple R project was funded through a three year California Gang Reduction, Intervention, and Prevention (CalGRIP) Program grant (2015-2017) for $439,700 per year or $1.3M total. The grant was managed by the City of Oxnard Office of Youth Safety (OYS) in partnership with a contracted community-based partner, Interface Children and Family Services (ICFS). Triple R- which stands for Recover, Repair, Restore - aims to restore hope and create a safe and respectful environment for youth at risk of initial or recurring gang involvement. Through the implementation of case management, Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), healing circles, and trainings with appropriate community-based providers, the project focuses on achieving individual behavioral changes and increasing the community's awareness of trauma-informed care. Thus, the anticipated results of the project are a personal transformation of the youth served rather than a citywide reduction in crime. Local Need for This Project City of Oxnard Police sources estimate that there are approximately 2,400 gang members in Oxnard. According to the Ventura County Juvenile Justice Plan, published in April of 2017, there is a continued need for supportive services and resources for families and gang involved youth throughout Ventura County. Given that the Triple R Project focuses on cultivating pro-social behavior and creating access to supportive services for youth and their families, this program is meeting a current need as identified by community members. The Triple R Project builds on the city's past successes and lessons learned in addressing gang violence by providing a trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally responsive approach to personal transformation to meet youth where they are. The Triple R Project targets gang-involved, gang-affiliated, and gang-exposed youth and young adults ages 15-24 and their families. Rather than try to reach young people who are perceived to be "at-risk," the Triple R Project casts a wide net among partner agencies, schools, and other programs to identify individuals who are "at-promise" - in other words, those who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives, and who express a commitment to embark upon a journey of transformation. "At-promise" youth can also be defined as resilient youth. Resilient youth possess positive motivating traits, such as a positive self-regard, high self-esteem, optimism, motivation, and an internal locus of control. Additionally, resilient youth are found to have a greater opportunity for success when the number or quality of protective factors increase and the number of risk factors decrease.
