Compton High School Scholars Attend Game Changer Meeting
14 Compton High School scholars from the Culinary, Audio Production, and Video Production Classes participated in the Game Changer event hosted by the LA Galaxy recently at Dignity Health Sports Park, meeting with members of the sheriff's department, district attorney's office, and other law enforcement.
Game Changer brings together community members, law enforcement, judicial and legislative branches of government for moderated focus groups. Together they discussed community problems and devised solutions. Pre- and post-perception surveys were completed by each participant to generate data.
The moderated focus groups were a safe space that allowed the various members of the community to discuss the issues that exist between and among them. The ultimate goals for Game Changer are for community members to become better educated about one another, leading to a change in perceptions. Ultimately, this leads to a change in behavior and leads to a change in outcomes.
