We show up.
MASK is a force that empowers us to be the voice of change, safety, and presence for our families and communities. As individuals joined together, our many voices are amplified as one.
Our Mission
MASK (Mothers/Men Against Senseless Killings) was established in 2015 as a way to put eyes on the streets, interrupt violence and crime, and teach children to grow up as friends rather than enemies. A group of caring individuals in the community began to simply hang out on the block, cook food, and emanate love.
Study Buddy Program
While we build our school, we are launching our Study Buddy Tutoring program. You can sign up below to volunteer as a buddy, or sign your child(ren) up to participate.
