Roca's mission is to be a relentless force in disrupting incarceration, poverty, and racism. Roca's mission is to be a relentless force in disrupting incarceration and poverty by helping the young adults, police, and systems at the center of urban violence in relationships to address trauma, find hope, and drive change. Roca is an internationally recognized organization moving the needle on urban violence by working relentlessly with the young people who are at the center of the violence. We engage this specific population in an intensive four-year program to address trauma, teach life-saving, cognitive-behavioral skills, and break the cycle of incarceration and poverty that traditional youth programs alone can’t break. And because it takes all of us, Roca helps institutions like the police change the way they work with young people who are traumatized and full of fear.
