Violence Prevention & Community Safety

Business Engagement

Violence not only harms the lives of Kansas Citians—it significantly damages the economy through lost customers, workforce members, reduction of new and existing businesses, and additional costs. KC Common Good’s Business Engagement Plan provides businesses with useful trainings and a practical way to help reduce violence in our community through reentry hiring, internships, and other initiatives.
