Students Reaching Out to Improve Community Safety 

Students Reaching Out Youth Advocates in partnership with the Valley Hi Youth and Adult Coalition recently conducted a walkability audit in the Valley HI neighborhood of South Sacramento. The walkability audit identified which conditions impact safety, including physical environment and how safe people feel moving in and around the community. The project assessed environmental elements such as lights, stop signs, and cross walks, as well as the climate of the community (people loitering in parking lots, fights in public areas such as parks, etc.). The groups visited 12 locations in the Valley HI community to determine its assets and challenges and produced an audit describing, through photos and captions, the walkability and safety of Valley Hi. Results were presented before school district officials, elected officials and community members. View the Final Report by clicking on the image above
