“The Streetworker Center has become part of the larger community in Lowell and is now seen as part of the solution to gang violence”—Juan Carlos Rivera, project director during the RWJF grant
An evaluation team from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health examined the United Teen Equality Center’s Streetworker Program to produce a written record describing the program. The evaluation team’s research and publications were undertaken to benefit the Lowell program, other streetworker programs across the United States, and organizations interested in forming a streetworker program.
