Stop The Violence was founded in the great city of Chicago, Illinois where there is a significantly higher than average incidence of crime coupled with truancy, teen pregnancy, domestic violence and drug use on the rise, the children suffer from a lack of constructive activities to foster its growth. Jehovah Jireh #1 Outreach Ministries saw the potential benefits of quality after-school and weekend programs that would provide a safe haven for the inner-city youth of The Austin Community.
