Teen Ambassadors Against Crime 2016-2017 Participants

Interactive Hands-On Education

The TAAC program is designed to teach youth how to examine violence and law-related issues in the context of their schools and communities and how to apply what they learn to real-life circumstances. Students learn about the different types of crime, the costs and consequences of crime, conflict management strategies, how crime affects communities, and what community prevention programs and services are available to them. The program increases social responsibility in teens, educates them about the law, reduces their potential for victimization, and engages them in making their homes, schools, and communities safer.

Teen Ambassadors selected for 2024-2025 will have the opportunity to participate in:

SWAT Leadership Course
Youth Peace Congress featuring professional speakers and community leaders.
Engaging with Community Resources from local, state and federal agencies: Listen to and interact with guest speakers who are prominent members of the local crime prevention and criminal justice community
Visit and interact with representatives from Forensics, Crime lab, Juvenile Detention Center, Crime Victims Advocate, New Orleans Family Justice Center, Special Operations Division (SOD), District Attorney's Office, Homicide Division and Narcotics
Tour of Orleans Parish Prison and conversation with rehabilitated parolees.
Networking for student internships and the opportunity to compete for a possible scholarship.
Service learning projects where teens will apply what they have learned to help inform and inspire their peers to be involved in crime prevention.
