  • About Us

    As a Cure Violence site, it is 696 Build Queensbridge’s mission to strengthen the community and prevent future conflicts by enhancing awareness, promoting health and encouraging professional advancement opportunities. Cure Violence is a public health, community-based model that aims to reduce shootings and homicides; to redirect the highest risk youth from a life of violence and to mentor them through pro-social choices; and to shift community norms to reject violence. Through the use of credible messengers who themselves have lived a life of violence – but have chosen a different path – Cure Violence sites aim to heal and transform communities affected by violence.
