The mission of Uncornered is to eliminate violence by reducing shootings and homicides in cities. The organization harnesses a proven, data-based model to analyze violence street by street and corner by corner to transform a city’s most violent, disruptive, and neglected residents, who they have coined “Core Influencers,” into agents of change who led their cities to peace. This includes engaging gang members and others directly involved in violence and offering them a different path, working to change the trajectory of entire families, communities and cities.
