PENN HILLS (KDKA) - Some college students are working to combat the rise in gun violence by opening a community center.

On Saturday, Young Black Motivated Kings & Queens, often referred to as YBMKQ - a local organization for children, youth, and family, revealed their plans to open a community center later this year in Penn Hills.

The center will play a role as a safe space for youth to join extracurricular activities and explore different career paths.
