Additionally, the show will feature numerous programs ranging from the Philadelphia Police Department's Heads Up Program, an educational program teaching children violence prevention, to ASAP (After School Activities Partnership), a free service offering non-traditional after-school activities. Through spotlighting the examples of people who are doing something, the special shows viewers how they can make a difference by volunteering their time.

Representatives from Philadelphia's community, civic and law enforcement organizations will be available to respond to viewers' inquiries about the Philadelphia murder crisis, and advise them on becoming a part of the solution, instead of the problem.
