Report
Much research and strategic planning went into the formation of Memphis Allies. Since it launched in 2022, Memphis Allies has grown to more than 150 committed professional staff providing life-changing services to people, ages 12-35, most at risk for gun violence.
SWITCH — Support with Intention to Create Hope — programming is offered in Frayser, Orange Mound, Hickory Hill and South Memphis with plans to grow further. We offer SWITCH Youth services countywide.
In FY23-24, Memphis Allies served 512 people through SWITCH and SWITCH Youth. In two years, we want to serve nearly four times that amount. In this report, you will learn how we do this work, and who some of the key players are in reaching those in our community most at risk for gun violence.
Already, there is evidence that the initiative is making a real impact. While actively engaged, more than 87% of our SWITCH program participants have not incurred a new gun-related charge.
