Omar Jahwar tackles the politics and issues that affect inner city youth in the Dallas community.

Emerging as an important leader and outspoken voice in the community, he is the founder of Vision Regeneration, Inc., a life shaping entity designed to assist the social sculpting of inner city youth. Vision Regeneration presently provides counseling and mentoring services in the Dallas Independent School District.

Mr. Jahwar was instrumental in creating ’ first Violence Free Zone (VFZ), a concept developed by Center for Neighborhood Enterprise (CNE) originator Robert Woodson. Based on the philosophy that crime and violence can be prevented by transforming the thoughts and perceptions of individuals who participate in crime and violence, Vision’s track record is proof that with early and positive intervention and value reinforcement youth can be deterred from crime and violence.

The first person to hold a recognized position within the State of Texas as Gang Interventionist, a congressional speaker on grassroots solutions to youth crime, and grant recipient from the City of Dallas for youth crime initiatives, Mr. Jahwar spearheaded the first gang truce in Dallas between the “Crips” and “Bloods” in 2000 and addressed a Russian delegation in St. Petersburg, Russia in December 2002 on the issue of youth violence. He recently addressed U.S. Justice Department officials and principals on this important topic. He is the recipient of numerous accolades and awards

In addition to his community activism, Jahwar released three CD’s, NuKoncept, Songs for Christmas and A Musical Conversation- an original music project on his label, Butterfly Records. He is presently working on a book project entitled “The Rules of the Game”.

Mr. Jahwar offers training and workshops to empower and equip churches, community leaders and schools with principles and strategies to positively engage and impact the lives of today's urban youth.
