Who We Are

AllforOne fosters and proliferates the reduction of gang violence throughout Santa Barbara County.  Our life experiences are key elements in teaching prospective and active gang members, at-risk youth and junior mentors.  Through mentor training, youth community awareness, youth advocacy and access to alternative social and educational activities. AllforOne is a three-component collaboration working together and creating the AllforOne program.  The three components are:

Hoods in the Woods (The New Territories Project)    Started in 1991 

A grassroots and the father to the rest of the program. The program is geared toward stopping gang violence by breaking the territorial mentality some young people have and replacing it with team cooperation and community through various workshops, special speakers and mentors who have lived that mentality themselves. The program is an effective strategy in reducing gang violence and criminal activity, alcohol and drug abuse also by providing alternate life choices. Takes gang members and at-risk youth of different communities and neighborhoods (Carpinteria, Eastside, Westside, Isla Vista, Goleta, and Lompoc) into new territories together!

Mentors and staff

All for One- Very unique aspect part of the program, the first of its kind. All for One Youth Mentoring Gang Violence Prevention Program is the only mentoring program on the South Coast that uses ex-gang members, as it's primary mentor base. The mentors are put through special training classes, through each step of the overall purpose of the program. Before any major trips the mentors attend first-aid hands-on workshops at the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. The goal of All for One is to eliminate and prevent gang violence throughout Santa Barbara.

 Mi Gente

Hoods in the Woods, All for One, and Mi Gente are all in collaborates together and exist because of the youth they serve. Mi Gente is a program which provides gang and at risk youth with support and solutions to their problems by showing them the big picture of life. The program uses mentors and special planned trips and events, such as the New Territories Project to prevent gang violence throughout Santa Barbara County.
