Concord, Contra Costa County's largest city, mirrors other suburban
areas in terms of rising youth violence. According to a study
conducted by the Department's Prevention Program in 1994, violence is
the number one killer of young people (10 to 14 years old) throughout
the county. This is the population targeted for violence prevention
activities under the SKILLS Project.
The goal of this project is to develop and implement a gang-prevention
curriculum in four Concord middle schools (Pine Hollow, E1 Dorado,
Glenbrook and Oak Grove) . The SKILLS curriculum will supplement and
be integrated into the existing gang-prevention activities currently
being conducted by the Concord Police Department.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, the application has been
forwarded to the City of Concord, but subject to Board approval. Four
certified and sealed copies of the Board Order authorizing submission
of the application should be returned to the Contracts and Grants
