During the past decade, counties have taken various approaches to stop the growth of gangs throughout the region. Now an Hispanic community group is also trying to lend a hand. Fairfax-based Barrios Unidos will conduct a Regional Youth Peace Summit this summer to create initiatives to address violence in communities and encourage those who live in at-risk areas to help try to keep children from gangs... Juan Pacheco, the program director for Barrios Unidos, said that the reason for the summit is to [help young people] from a grassroots perspective. Barrios Unidos gets former gang members involved.
