Summer Night Lights is an anti-gang initiative that keeps parks open after dark--during the peak hours for gang activity--with free food and expanded programming.
By empowering communities and targeting the traditionally most-violent summer months, Summer Night Lights has become a national model for violence reduction.
Since 2008, SNL has expanded from 8 parks to 24 citywide, leading to a 57% reduction in gang-related homicides in SNL neighborhoods.
