About This Lesson
A former gang member talks about how he reformed and now wants to make a difference. Involved in robberies and gangs from around the age of 15, he got into trouble with the police and this had a marked effect on his family. Jason reformed when his local Youth Club approached him and asked him to help out as he had ‘good leadership skills’. After doing this voluntary work he came to realize that young people needed help as they often did not realize the consequences of their actions.
