Detroit’s New Year’s Tradition
Name: Joshua Pelt
University Prep High School/ Youth Initiatives Project
Detroit is one of the many cities in America that made shooting in the air on New Year’s Day a tradition. As a result there have been a high percentage of fatal as well as non fatal shootings going on for several years. Youth Initiatives Project (YIP) is part of the Neighborhood Service Organization. It is a program guided by youth to make a difference in the communities around the metropolitan area. We have a campaign which is year round called “Hugs Not Bullets”. But we mainly focus on this particular campaign around the first of the year to stop shootings (a New Year’s tradition). “Hugs Not Bullets” has been a success; we have had a lot of promotion in the previous years with this campaign and plan to continue it into the future.
