San Diego faces three serious problems: human trafficking, gang violence, and violent extremism. But the picture is not as gloomy if you know where to look for bright spots where collaboration, negotiation, and principled problem solving operate. Bright Spots explores our community resilience: how San Diego communities are responding to and transforming the risks and adversities facing our youth by leveraging our own strengths, networks, and resources. Join Dr. Ami Carpenter, from the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, to discuss and learn more.
