Vision given by God to Teena James, Safe in the Six is a 501(c)(3) organization created with the community in mind. In the past, Stop Six had been a close-knit community where the saying, 'It takes a village to raise a child," which was how the community lived. As a thriving community, there was an abundance of investments in the community for those of us who called it home. Neighbors looked after one another's children to ensure they stayed on the path to success, while also ensuring that it was an environment that encouraged professional and personal growth in a healthy community. Unfortunately, as the community grew and changed, the community's mindset changed as well. Suddenly, the community began to feel neglected with a sudden increase in crime, lack of development, broken families and no adequate education provided throughout our education system which has since then failed our children and community, and a  decrease in community resources. That's when Safe in the Six decided to step in.
