The DEA Educational Foundation Youth Dance Program proudly announces the launch of new programming in Compton, CA in conjunction with the Compton Violence Reduction Network. Bringing together law enforcement and community programs the Compton Violence Reduction Network provides communities with essential outreach and support in pursuit of safe neighborhoods. October’s launch assembly in Compton featured a dynamic dance performance and positive messaging from the DEA YDP partner, Culture Shock LA, and an important talk and presentation of community efforts by agents from the local DEA Field office. Students were treated to a unique experience of bringing positive community programming and skilled law enforcement together into one room where they could practice their “healthy lifestyle” dance skills and try on tactical gear and test equipment to learn about careers in law enforcement and making a positive impact on community. The DEA Youth Dance Program will now continue with a 20 week program out the Compton school and looks forward to a fantastic year providing free dance classes to students.
