Beginning April 1, 2024, the City of Euclid, Euclid Public Library, and Euclid City Schools have all confirmed their intent to enter an agreement with the Case Western Reserve University Center for Community Innovation for community-led citywide "vision for a safer Euclid" in partnership with the HOPE Task Force.

Our selected youth co-leaders will be mentored and empowered to assume the leadership role however they feel most comfortable stepping in. Any interested students should complete this form by May 1, 2024.

Neighbor Nights begin September 26 at 6:00 p.m.

On Monday afternoon, around the corner from Shoreview Elementary School, a 10-year-old student was shot in the arm shortly after school let out for the day. She was the innocent victim of someone else’s dispute involving a gun. A stray bullet. The student, family, schoolmates, teachers, and staff at Shoreview have access to counselors for emotional support, and our community’s prayers for healing and peace are ongoing.

Gun violence in our neighborhoods is not acceptable.

When a child is injured, it brings home even more clearly that we have work to do to make our community safer for all. Over the Labor Day weekend, members and allies of the Euclid HOPE Task Force gathered to learn about Community Violence Interruption (CVI) strategies and practical steps to reduce violence among us.

“What Euclid is doing is innovative,” said Dr. Prakash Ganesh, Medical Director for the Cuyahoga County Board of Health. “I keep telling other cities to look at what Euclid is doing when they ask me about reducing violence in their communities.” What is innovative about Euclid’s HOPE Task Force violence reduction efforts? It’s our commitment to building on the skills and assets of our community instead of the traditional “needs-based” approach to community development.
