Young Community Advocates of Baring Cross
This year will mark our third annual National Night Out in Baring Cross themed “Let’s Give Crime a Going Away Party!”and will be dedicated to the memory of Major Phillip Wise and Timothy “Dreads” Nichols.
This project gives YCA-BC the opportunity to:
Heighten crime awareness
Increase support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts
Strengthen the relationship between the neighbors and the law enforcement
Send a message to criminals letting them know that the Baring Cross community is organized and is fighting back
OUR N.N.O. VISION
Our vision is to provide accurate information about reporting criminal activity in an effort to enhance neighbors’ sense of comfort and pride in Baring Cross. We hope that neighbors adopt a more observant, active attitude which will, in turn, help reduce the rate of burglaries and murders in Baring Cross.
WHAT WE DO
The YCA-BC has engaged in a number of projects including:
Neighborhood clean-ups
NLR Voter’s registration
Local political campaign initiatives
(e.g., Sen. Blanche Lincoln, Sen. Tracy Steele)
NLR City Hall visits and rallies
Stop the Violence Community Block Parties
Stir Up Your Gifts talent showcases
NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
Our major project is National Night Out, a national program to promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in the fight for a safer nation. National Night Out has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in a fight for a safer nation. Last year, 200 people participated and this year we expect over 300 people.
The Young Community Advocates of Baring Cross (YCA-BC) was organized in 2006. The YCA-BC is comprised of young people between the ages of 5 and 28 who reside in Baring Cross and surrounding neighborhoods. This youth group was organized in an effort to provide fun, constructive service opportunities for young people.
The YCA-BC mission is to:
Acknowledge young people’s talent and inspire others to recognize their God-given talent;
Mentor young people as they perfect their gifts;
Educate young people during their process of stirring up their gifts; and
Network to make a difference in the community-one young person at a time.
Our mission statement is coined the A.M.E.N. Project.
