While it doesn't directly address the arts, this symposium looks incredibly interesting for artists and community partners working with troubled kids. Themed "Partnering to Prevent Youth Gang Violence," the event will offer innovative and successful gang-related programs and strategies, as well as provide the latest information on youth gang activities and trends from top national experts. It's sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the National Youth Gang Center. Just a few of the topics: Gangs online, Brown/black gang conflicts, Gangster rap, Gangs in Indian Country, Female gangs, Community-based intervention strategies that work, Gang-focused restorative justice programming, Alternatives to incarceration and a lot more. There are a dozen pre-symposium workshops, including Team-Based Gang Intervention, Outreach to Gang Members and Their Families and Conducting a Comprehensive Gang Assessment.
