Härnösand, SE "Adults in City" volunteer program pays classrooms when parents walk at night

Härnösand, SE public safety volunteer program

The Municipality of Härnösand partnered with the Police and the Church of Sweden to launch the "Adults in the City" volunteer program. The "Adults in the City" program provides classrooms with grants and in exchange the parents agree to conduct night walks in their neighborhood. The program was designed around the idea that just having visible adults present at night in the city prevents criminal activity and fighting among young people.
