The Graffiti Hurts® Program is dedicated to raising awareness about the harmful effects of graffiti vandalism on communities. At the heart of the Graffiti Hurts® Program are four goals:
* Educate citizens about the importance of graffiti prevention and abatement.
* Provide local municipalities with a platform for delivering graffiti prevention messages.
* Utilize local organizations and Keep America Beautiful affiliates to provide opportunities to give back through community service.
* Create healthier, safer and more livable community environments.
The Graffiti Hurts® Program also helps communities initiate local graffiti prevention activities, and educate youth and adults about the impact of graffiti vandalism.
To do this, the Graffiti Hurts® Program has developed a kit of resources.
The kit contains all the tools to begin graffiti education, prevention, and clean-up in your neighborhood.
