Mary Baldwin College will get $12,125 to assess the needs for gang prevention programs in Staunton, Augusta County and Waynesboro.

The SAW Coalition has worked to gather information on teen violence, gangs and drug abuse. The organization's leaders say this grant money will aid in their efforts and allow them to save their resources down the line.
