LIFE Camp, Inc. is a non-profit organization focused on violence prevention and intervention, based in South Jamaica, Queens. Founded in April 2002, it develops young leaders and offers youth and families positive alternatives to violence, bullying, and anti-social behavior. Its programs primarily serve youths aged 13 to 24, providing educational, employment, and social opportunities that may not otherwise be available, with violence framed as a public health issue. The organization operates a model violence intervention system and runs youth mentorship programs, including the PeaceMobile, to support individuals and transform communities. It has been recognized by prominent entities, including former President Barack Obama, the Jordan Brand, and the New York City Council, for its work. As a non-profit in the violence prevention and education space, LIFE Camp emphasizes community-based approaches to reducing violence and building leadership among young people and families.
