There is a direct correlation between gun violence and food and housing insecurity.

To date, Untrapped Ministries has placed over 65 young adults who were affected or involved in gun violence in jobs with REVIVE’s network of organizations such as The Urban League of Rochester’s YouthBuild program, PathStone, Teen Empowerment, Goebel Manufacturing, Crypto Currency Connection, Wegmans, Arc of Justice, City of Rochester, Community Place, Rochester Works, Young Adult Re-entry Program and more and put over $250,000 into youth development within the community.

Our Economic Empowerment Programs

  • REVIVE ROC

    REVIVE ROC is our workforce development program which seeks to improve young adults’ social and emotional development; support them in identifying job and career aspirations, and teach “soft” skills (e.g., communications, teamwork, time management, etc.), while providing support services to ensure zero barriers to employment.

  • SUMMER YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

    We partnered with My Brother’s Keeper for the 2022 Summer Youth Leadership Program. We are now in Year 2 of completing another four-week program, students aged 12 to 14. Students will again be awarded a stipend and knowledge in the areas of leadership development, effective communication, interpersonal skills, self awareness, relationship and community building and career path assessment.
