Six months into an anti-gang program based on a national model, Chattanooga has launched a new website aimed at helping families and community members access local services.
The website targets gang members trying to reform, parents who may have questions about gangs and community members wanting to lend a hand, said Boyd Patterson, a project coordinator for the anti-gang initiative.
The web address, TheFutureIsOurs.net, uses the initiative’s slogan.
Patterson said the website was created by Chattanooga-based Maycreate and its $6,000 to $7,000 cost was funded through the mayor’s office. It will be featured in marketing campaigns for the initiative.
