AdHoc serves as the trusted bridge between the community and law enforcement.

Canvassing allows us to support an entire community that has been affected by a violent act. We offer our services and position ourselves as a safe mediator that can accept tips in order to bring justice to our communities.

"I was referred to AdHoc through the court system to take their Thinking for a Change class. When I first walked in I thought it was something I had to hurry up and get done, but when I started listening I realized it was really what I needed to hear at that time...I'm thankful for the role it's played in my life."
​- Jadeen

"Without these (counseling) sessions through AdHoc my life would be at a much darker place. It would feel impossible to see that there is Hope."
​-Antonio

​"If it wasn't for AdHoc, I don't know where I would be. The counseling they've shared with me has helped me tremendously. I was against counseling (at first), but when they told me about all the things it could help me with I reconsidered. Actually, counseling is what really brought me where I am today."
​- Bridget
