More about this organization
Mission
Our mission is to act collectively, boldly and strategically as a unified force for all children. We eliminate the root causes of the prison pipeline, save our children from death and incarceration and guide them on a secure path to success.
About
Utilizing research-based best practices combined with community outreach, Gideon’s Army builds its restorative justice programs based upon this information and uses program results and community input to guide its policy work. Through intensive volunteer and community training as well as dialogue, the voice of the population being served is centered throughout the entire process. This creates healthy alternatives and an environment that allows the youth to learn from their mistakes rather than criminalizing their actions and allowing them to fall prey to the school to prison pipeline. Gideon’s Army is currently the only local organization in Nashville that focuses solely on addressing youth violence and dismantling the prison pipeline through social activism and community and systems transformation led by children in the prison pipeline, their families, and their community.
