The Power of Community

Want to improve your community? Located in Tacoma, Washington, Safe Streets Campaign is a non-profit organization that brings people together—sometimes neighbors who get to know each other for the first time—to take back their streets.  Through forming neighborhood block organizations, we help you plant the seed of grassroots, community leadership. That leadership helps hold communities together, and links them with can-do people in agencies and organizations to make neighborhoods safe.  Working together is the key to reversing crime trends in our neighborhoods. Safe Streets is here to help create better, safer communities throughout Pierce County.

This year's Safe Streets Superstars are a trio of retirees, an Eastside pastor, a group of teens, a business coalition, and the founder of Safe Streets. Read more about our 2008 Superstars here, including the acceptance speech from one of the Outstanding Neighborhood Leaders.
