Game Changer brings together community, law enforcement, members of the judicial and legislative branches of government for moderated focus groups. Once the focus group concludes, all participants enjoy a sporting event or entertainment event together for much needed quality time.
Together we discuss community problems and devise solutions. Dinner and event tickets are provided. Pre and Post perception surveys are completed to generate data to be used to navigate toward change.
Visit the Game Changer YouTube page to watch footage from focus groups and testimonials from law enforcement and community members who have participated.
About Game Changer
Out of necessity, Game Changer was born, a model rooted in creating a safe space for consistent, moderated, 2-way dialogue to occur between members of the community, law enforcement and members of the judicial system in a common ground setting: a sports/entertainment environment. “Think about it: when do people from all walks of life come together to have a good time together? Sporting events and music concerts. Sports and entertainment have always been trend setters in our society when it comes to social issues. We need them to influence our society in a positive way more than ever.”
The Game Changer model calls upon the NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, WNBA, NASCAR, UFC and major artists to allow for moderated focus groups (15-20 per month in each city) to occur at their arena, 3 hours before game, competition or concert time. The moderated focus groups are meant to allow members of the community, members of law enforcement, elected officials and members of the judicial system to discuss the issues that exist between and among them. The time is designed to give everyone in attendance the opportunity to be heard and listened to in a safe space. The focus groups are meant to educate, generate data on perspectives and changes in perspective with an end goal of bringing about changes in behavior, neighborhood watch, policy, procedure and law.
Once each focus group concludes, all participants adjourn to take in the sporting/entertainment event together in order to spend much needed social/human bonding time together, time that is routinely absent from a typical citizen or police officer’s life routine. Game time is meant to allow for the participants to see each other in a human light, as members of one team routing for a common denominator: the home team.
