ERCPCP is a faith-based organization whose work is directed towards at risk and high-risk youth in Wards 7 and 8. This is an opportunity to interface with various clergy, community-based organizations and officials of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) as ERCPCP strives to help those who have become victims of the social ills in our communities.
The mission of ERCPCP is intended to reach, assist, and transform young people, especially those whose lives have been affected or influenced by drugs, crime and violence. Through a collaboration of clergy, police and community we aim to improve the spiritual and personal development of young people and build a system of community support that enhances service delivery and creates healthy and safe neighborhoods.
Currently, ERCPCP has school-based programming where we put on two gender specific school-based conferences; community-based programming where we work with young people in the Benning Terrace, Woodland Terrace and Washington Highlands public housing communities, serve as a Weed and Seed site and host a workforce development program; and Re-Entry programming to include workforce development and a faith-based transitional housing program.
