Youth Empowering
EACDO Youth Development Program
In Minnesota, beginning with Minneapolis and expanding to other cities, the East African Community Development Organization (EACDO), in partnership with community safety ambassadors, will spearhead strategic efforts to enhance security, safety, and unity within local neighborhoods.
Through comprehensive training programs, robust partnerships with local authorities, targeted safety initiatives, and the implementation of neighborhood watch programs, EACDO will empower communities to take proactive responsibility for their safety, strengthen trust, and foster long-term peace and stability. This initiative represents a vital investment in community resilience and is poised to create lasting positive change across the region.
