GREENE is Switching Lifestylez and University Settlement teaming up to keep Fort Greene neighbors connected and safe. We’re using evidence-based strategies to reduce gun violence in our neighborhood.

Our teams of credible messengers interrupt violence by building relationships with people most likely to be involved, so we can engage more effectively in moments of crisis. We go further by engaging those most affected by violence with wrap-around social services to improve quality of life, address trauma, and promote peace.
