Syracuse, NY – As temperatures rise, so do violent incidents in Syracuse's inner city.

Four men, all native to the South side, may have found a way to reduce youth anger and instill a sense of pride in those who live in one of Syracuse's worst neighborhoods.

WRVO's Elizabeth Christensen visited the Faith and Hope Community Center.
