The Brother Carl Hardrick Institute for Violence Prevention, named for a well-known community leader in the Capital city, will train violence interrupters and interveners to help make an impact on the streets.
A group of Connecticut power players are coming together on a mission in the community to help end gun violence. They’re looking to the teachings of a community legend still working today to try to make change happen.
For Carl Hardrick, getting in the way of violence in the capital city is life’s calling.
Known in the community as “Brother Carl,” for decades this Hartford native, a son of Bellevue Square, has worked to help young people in the community choose alternatives to violence and dream of a better life for themselves and their families.
And now, the work of this man of the people is the basis for the Brother Carl Hardrick Institute for Violence Prevention.
