Hello, November 4, 2024
Thank you CASP Community!
Thank you to STRYVE, Partners for Peace, Harmony at Home, the Vineyard Church, St. Mary's Church, the Salinas Police Department and Salinas Neighborhood Services for another successful March for Peace. About 100 marchers were led by youth from the North Salinas High School MECHA club and STRYVE led CPTED program high school students. We were joined by Mothers of Murdered Children, the Monterey County District Attorney's Victim Assistance Unit, the Salinas Police Department Victims Support Unit and the office of Supervisor Luis Alejo in our Community Resource Fair.
Next CASP Meeting
Join us on Wednesday, November 6 at 10 AM to learn about the services being offered to students and their families through the Salinas City Elementary School Districts Family Resource Centers! The historic investment in the support of basic needs and enrichment for youth through our public school systems has been a integral part of our violence prevention success in Salinas and throughout Monterey County!

Hebbron Family Center Groundbreaking
On September 28, 2024 the City of Salinas officially broke ground on the development of a new Hebbron Family Center (HFC). The old HFC was closed due to structural damage after severe storms during the pandemic. The 2019 Parks, Recreation and Libraries Master Plan identified the HFC as the top ranked priority for renovation of all the recreation amenities in Salinas. City leaders worked to pull together a variety of funding streams with great support from our State and Federal elected representatives to make this new center a reality!
