Hi my name is Lyrico Keller I’m the CEO of Life 2 a new Beginnings,
Thank you for stopping by to check out our website.
I'm Motivational speaker/break dancer/artist, As well as playing roles in skits since 2004.
The group I was in was called Youth Alliance Against Gang Violence (YAAGV),
Also known as the Warrior Spirit Walking program, Was a community-based crime prevention program that focuses on the multiple determinants of criminal and antisocial behavior, providing services in the youth’s neighborhood instead of in the family unit.
Here is a link for more info:

The program was based on the Circle of Courage and was centered on community mobilization; conflict resolution; counseling and social work; leadership and youth development; peer counseling and mediation; school-based strategies; skills training; and social-emotional learning.
I'm No longer with this group because the funding was cut due to federal funding.
Prince Albert's anti-gang program, As well as another program in Regina are currently trying to obtain funding from the provincial government to replace the federal funding that was cut. as of now they haven't received any funding according to Peggy Rubin. Executive Director of the prince albert, Youth Outreach Program.
here is the story on it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/anti-gang-program-funds-threatened-1.1071966
The last gig I did with them was in 2011. It was a really good experience for me. I realized I had passion to help others, So i started where I left off and that's how Life 2 A New Beginnings became a group build from the bottom, and run by UGL PRODUCTIONS.
