ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW Roca’s mission is to be a relentless force in disrupting incarceration and poverty by partnering with young adults, the police, and systems at the center of urban violence to create safety, address trauma, and find hope.  We relentlessly find and work with the people who drive the most violence, in the places they are, and work with them over time to support them in changing behaviors that perpetuate urban violence in order to help them find the peace they need to thrive.   Who We Serve: 16-to-24 year olds who are the primary victims and/or drivers of urban violence. These young people: are involved in criminal justice system ; have no high-school degree/GED and/or have low literacy skills; have no formal/sustained employment history ; are involved with guns, gangs, and drugs ; have failed out or dropped out of programs, schools, and jobs ; and, may be young parents.  These young people have experienced extensive trauma. Their fear does not turn off. Mistreatment and neglect have shaped their worldview and they are hyper-vigilant about threats. This level of trauma makes it extremely difficult for Roca’s young people to engage, without significant intervention, in helpful services that other youth may be able to access with ease.  Roca’s Intervention Model, grounded in CBT, has generated impressive results with the young people most likely to drive crime and violence. Roca and many partners in the field [1] believe our program model has national relevance for our most traumatized young people who are not ready, willing, or able to be served in existing educational, life skills or workforce development programs for youth.  Consistent with this research, Roca’s approach is rooted in understanding brain development, neuroplasticity, and the impact of trauma on the brain; built on the foundational theories of Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Stages of Change and Systems Change; and guided by the following beliefs:  Violence is the result of unmet basic needs, unaddressed trauma, and lack of connection and understanding. We must impact violence to impact poverty; When we understand the impact of trauma on brain development and how it affects thinking, feeling, and doing, we can create and improve the ways in which we work to heal trauma and build skills that help people move toward change; People only change when they are ready, but people don’t just “get ready” when they are stuck in survival mode and are unsafe; Behaviors have consequences and we are all accountable for our behaviors. When we can learn to slow down and act from intention, we often do better; The majority of urban violence is driven by a small number of people in predictable places, and triggered by well understood behaviors (gangs, drugs, guns); When young parents have the skills they need to regulate themselves they are better prepared to successfully parent their children; Systems change cannot happen unless people change within those systems; and, Reducing urban violence is a fundamental measure of racial and economic justice.  Knowing this, Roca does not wait for young people or systems to come to us.  We relentlessly outreach and build relationships with young people to create safety and stability; use cognitive behavioral theory and peacemaking circles to address trauma; help young adults build the skills they need to change their behaviors; partner with systems so we can all get better at supporting these young people; and, provide opportunities to practice skills, relapse, and repeat.  We do this in order to help young people address their trauma, stay out of prison, and get and keep jobs - and we work with systems partners to impact policy and practice changes that help the highest risk young people improve their lives.  Governed by a 12-member Board of Directors, Roca has steadily increased its annual revenue to $17.1M ($14.1M in Massachusetts and $3M in Maryland) through several philanthropic and government-funded sources, including: federal and state contracts, pay-for-success contracting, private family foundations, corporations and individual donors. Over the next several years, Roca’s development efforts will be focused on increasing individual and corporate philanthropy, which will contribute to the organization’s continued recent growth.  Roca’s administrative offices are located in Chelsea, MA with program locations in Boston, MA, Lynn, MA, Holyoke, MA, Springfield, MA and Baltimore, Maryland.  The Young Men’s Program operates in all of the locations.
