OUR PROGRAMMES
College Crime Watch
This involves our use of Students’ leadership which is perceived as a real solution to crime, violence, and substance abuse in schools. It entails the involvement of college and university students in making their environment a safer and more hospitable place to peaceful living and learning. In partnership with community leaders, students lead initiatives specific to the needs of their environment.
