Urban Specialists™ is a nonprofit organization working to eliminate violence in Urban Culture.

As we look out across our nation’s landscape today, there is a growing concern about the crisis that seems to be ever-growing. At the same time, we believe that there is also a reservoir of hope that runs deep within the people that make our cities, states and nation great! It is because of that hope that we are convening The Heal America Tour, which will travel to various cities with one mission in mind, to revive hope and bring healing to those who seek to serve.
