Youth Violence & Emerging Gang Activity – Western NC Community Symposium

The North Carolina Gang Investigators Association invites community members, educators, service providers, faith leaders, and public-safety professionals to a one-day, community-driven symposium focused on exploring the real challenges facing youth in Western North Carolina and building stronger partnerships to address them.

This symposium will center on open dialogue, shared experiences, and practical solutions bringing together those who work with youth every day to discuss prevention, intervention, and the impact of emerging gang activity across the region.

Our goal is simple: listen, learn, and strengthen community partnerships that create safer pathways for young people and support those working on the front lines.

Stronger Together.
