Message from the Mayor’s Office of Public Safety/ Gang Reduction and Youth Development:

Mayor’s 2016 Fall Friday Nights

As you look for ways to make a difference in your communities on the issues you care about most, we want you to be aware of the Fall Friday Nights (FFN) program. Fall Friday Nights implements programming at 8 sites across the city providing  Angelenos with free extended recreational, cultural, educational, and resource-based programming from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m., on Friday nights throughout the fall months. Although touted as a violence reduction program, Fall Friday Nights provides significant employment opportunities in the communities most impacted by gang-related violence, poverty, and unemployment.

By working together, Fall Friday Nights and Neighborhood Councils can ensure that we are connecting people with meaningful services and resources that support your visions and Mayor Garcetti’s objectives to revitalize Los Angeles, strengthen neighborhoods, improve the workforce, and inspire civic pride in all Angelenos–resulting in real, measurable, long-term change for the residents of Los Angeles.

Here are ways to get involved:

Sign up to participate in Fall Friday Nights programming.  You can choose the activity the best fits your needs: information both, workshops, sponsorship opportunities, promote your meetings/events.

Attend a Fall Friday Nights programming night as a participant. Opening night is September 23rd at 5:00 pm.
Then, let Jessica Oleta of the Mayor’s Public Safety/Gang Reduction and Youth Development Office know if you would like to participate. If you have events in your area, FFN can help post your events on their social media and at the site to drive members your way.  Email to: Jessica.Oleta@lacity.org today.
