Roadmap Academy Impact Analysis

Cities United supports a national network of mayors, young leaders and other key stakeholders who are committed to reducing the epidemic of homicides and shootings among young Black men and boys ages 14 to 24 by 50%. Central to this mission is employing a comprehensive public health approach to ensure public safety for all. As the Cities United team worked closely with each city team, they heard a clear need for increased coaching on how to develop city-specific comprehensive safety plans. In response, Cities United leaned into its strengths in providing technical assistance and capacity building to city governments, thus leading to the creation of The Roadmap Academy (the Academy).
