Social Lions Gang Reforms Through Youth Board Aid
A New York City teen gang once known for vandalism and rumbles is transforming with help from the New York City Youth Board. Tony Todaro, a Youth Board worker, earned their trust, provided legal aid, helped them find jobs, coordinated school talks, family outreach, and welfare aid, and guided hikes and trips. The unit now operates as a social club under Youth Board cooperation, re-enacting past activities for community outreach.
