SERVICES
Community programs & prevention
Design around people.
Build youth, workforce, technology-equity, and prevention programs around community priorities. Connect the curriculum, partner roles, budget, and measures that sustain delivery.
For community organizations, public agencies, youth and workforce teams, and prevention coalitions.
A GOOD FIT
For the work
in front of you.
- A community need moving toward a funded program.
- A youth, workforce, or prevention initiative that needs partner alignment.
- An established program refining delivery, measures, or long-term funding.
WHEN ANOTHER ROUTE IS NEEDED
Define the boundary early.
- Direct clinical or emergency-response services.
- An intervention plan without local leadership and community input.
- Guaranteed behavior-change or safety outcomes unsupported by evaluation.

Your community and program leaders guide local decisions. Praxis contributes design, coordination, funding, and implementation support. Clinical services, emergency response, and legal review belong to the qualified teams responsible for those functions.
Questions we are usually asked
BEFORE WE BEGIN
Questions you
may be weighing.
Is the practice limited to violence prevention?
No. Experience spans youth development, mentoring, workforce pathways, technology access, public health, and community partnerships. Prevention is one part of a broader program-design and funding practice.
What is your CalVIP and DOJ experience?
Hisham authored successful $5M CalVIP and $1.5M DOJ/BJA proposals. Experience also spans scopes, budgets, subawards, partner coordination, and reporting. These contributions sit alongside health-equity, housing, and youth-development funding work.
Can you help stand up a hospital-based program?
We can support service scopes, partner agreements, referral requirements, budgets, reporting, and implementation coordination. Your clinical teams retain care decisions and your organization’s authorized teams control access and operating protocols.
How do you involve community partners?
We begin with local knowledge, stakeholder conversations, and a clear decision process. The resulting plan identifies partner roles, resource needs, measures, and how feedback changes the work.
Do you work on domestic violence prevention?
Yes. Hisham’s experience includes volunteer, board, program-management, and director-level work, with particular depth in engaging men in prevention. The scope can connect education, outreach, partner systems, and funding.
How do you help a program last?
We connect operating costs, staff ownership, reporting, governance, and renewal planning. You receive a defined maintenance and learning rhythm rather than a plan that ends at launch.
