Greater Asbury Park Community Development Initiative

Greater Asbury Park Community Development Initiative Our Mission is to prevent juvenile crime and promote positive outcomes for youth.

This action oriented initiative is currently focusing attention on ways to expand youth employment opportunities and to provide mentors for at risk youth in the city. In 2011, Asbury Park became the 5th New Jersey city the Attorney General's office selected to form a community initiative to prevent juvenile crime and promote positive youth outcomes. The Greater Asbury Park Community Development In

itiative (GAPCDI) is currently co-chaired by Asbury Park Mayor John Moor and Monmouth County Assistant prosecutor Chris Decker. The CDI has representatives from Community Based Organizations, Government Agencies, Faith Based Groups, Law Enforcement, Education, and interested community members. The initiative provides Asbury Park with a comprehensive, city-wide coalition that enables all of these participating groups to communicate and coordinate with each other under the leadership of the Mayor and the Monmouth County Prosecutor's offices. The Greater Asbury Park Community Development Initiative is an action oriented coalition that focuses its attention on finding ways to expand youth employment opportunities and to providing mentors for opportune youth environments. In addition, the group has established a Police Chaplaincy program which places voluntary clergy on 24-hour call to offer non-sectarian assistance when juveniles are arrested for minor offenses.
