(LEX 18) â The City of Lexington is working on violence prevention through a summer program that takes youth from their neighborhoods to unique experiences across town. "It Takes a Village" summer youth program is the brainchild of Devine Carama, hip hop artist, community leader, and One Lexington director. "When I got the new job as Director of One Lexington in the mayor's office, I learned that a lot of the work that they were doing previously was intervention work, which is great work and needed. But in my experience working within the community, you've got to have some preventative stuff as well. What things are we doing to reach out to young people before they get to the moment of a violent altercation or involved in things that leads to violent altercations," said Carama.
