Jobs Not Guns is designed to decrease gun violence and Jobs Not Drugs is designed to reduce the impact of opioids and other drugs; both that benefit the residents of the District of Columbia, especially our youth. These initiatives assist in CREATING JOBS and BUILDING CAREERS by showcasing employers, contractors, apprenticeship programs, vocational education providers, law enforcement, and military opportunities with substance abuse counselors, drug programs and social service programs. Working together with communities, local, small and non-traditional businesses, we can assist District residents to overcome barriers to jobs and targeted careers.
