Youth Safe Haven, an international community policing/mentoring model was launched at four schools in the surrounding neighborhoods of East Oakland on February 25, 2011. The schools included Coliseum College Preparatory, Roots international, Futures Elementary and Community United Elementary. In this program students will receive homework assistance, participate in enrichment activities, learn life skills, and benefit from a trusting, consistent adult mentor. This initiative is funded by the Eisenhower Foundation.
