Peter Callstrom, President & CEO of SDWP, is one of 20 commissioners that serve on the City of San Diego’s Commission on Gang Prevention and Intervention.
The Commission was established in response to the concerns emerging in San Diego neighborhoods and from an absolute conviction that law enforcement and community must work together to create effective, positive, and lasting changes in the way youth violence is addressed.
Led by Chair Rosa Ana Lozada, CEO of Harmonium, the Commission is committed to working collaboratively with a broad spectrum of local leadership and community-based organizations to leverage every possible resource, perspective, and level of expertise to impact gang violence in communities. Executive Director Lynn Sharpe-Underwood is also a longtime member of the Youth Council and an advocate for youth services in our region.
As part of our commitment to the community, many SDWP staff members represent workforce development in the region by serving on boards, committees, and commissions in order to increase awareness of job training programs available to youth and adults.
