The mission of CHAPTER TWO INC is to provide healthy alternatives to gang association juvenile delinquency and youth gang-related crime to the residents of our communities who are most vulnerable to these anti-social behaviors.

  • Chapter Two Inc has consistently been contracted to affect change with the target population through the Los Angeles Gang Reduction and Youth Development GRYD. In 2023 the California Community Foundation and the Amity Foundation provided resources to expand our capacity to provide intervention and prevention services to areas that have different population dynamics and thus could not be effectively included in the work funded by the GRYD. We successfully serviced over 500 youth. More Specifically we have taken 250 youths through our gang reduction and youth development programs 215 or 86% of them completing the program. With the help of staff and volunteers we collected data on 175 youth and found that among the reasons that youth would not finish the program are youth refusal 30% non-attendance or inappropriate behavior sessions 30% the family moved 20% and youth criminal charges 10%. Chapter TWO Inc. has also been contracted to assist the Urban Peace Institute to provide peace keeping mentoring and food resources to 2000 disadvantaged and vulnerable youths and families in central Los Angeles.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
