Duquesne Community Mobilization Project
The Duquesne Community Mobilization Project (DCMP) is a collaborative effort with the Duquesne Delinquency Prevention Team. Together, they foster the prevention of youth violence and other problem behaviors, while promoting the development of positive social skills for youth and young adults ages six to twenty-one years that reside in the City of Duquesne.

Using a variety of approaches and the nationally recognized “best practices” Communities That Care® Model, developed by Dr. J. David Hawkins and R.F. Catalano, the program seeks to identify the community’s prioritized risk factors and outline strategies which will address these factors to eliminate problem behaviors affecting community youth.

The goals of the program are:

• To build the capacity of residents and others in the City of Duquesne to address youth problem behaviors which include violence, crime, teen pregnancy, school dropout, and substance abuse.
• To create a safe, nurturing environment for residents of all ages.
• To foster youth development and youth leadership by formally connecting youth to the community building process.

Services for Youth Include:

• Leadership Training
• Career and Vocational Development
• Academic Enrichment
• Conflict Resolution
• Crime and Violence Prevention
• Youth Employment
• Social Skills Development and Mentoring
• Peer-to-Peer Mentoring (Urban PRIDE Youth and School Coalition)
• Community Service
