Our programs aim to inspire change, focusing on areas like violence prevention, education, and community engagement. Whether you’re looking for youth programs, theater classes, or financial literacy workshops, we have initiatives that bring positive impact to Chicago’s communities.
Research
We employ a data-driven approach to explore community challenges, particularly focusing on the impact of crime on south side economic growth. Through rigorous analysis, we uncover actionable insights to inform evidence-based solutions and empower individuals affected by community violence. By prioritizing research excellence, we advocate for policy reforms and innovative approaches to create tangible impact in our communities.

Re-entry
We reduce recidivism by providing essential resources to justice-involved individuals, offering job and business training, and updating on legislative matters. As a founding member of the Community Support Advisory Council (CSAC) in Illinois, we address racial disparities and promote a crime-free lifestyle. We host events for returning citizens, including CSAC & Overcomer meetings, and report significant growth in participant numbers and program completion rates among recently released individuals.
