We’re proud to spotlight our partners Institute for Nonviolence Chicago and Breakthrough, recently featured in the Chicago Reader for their work addressing the root causes of gun violence and creating safer communities.
Through street outreach, job training, and conflict mediation, Institute for Nonviolence Chicago helps interrupt cycles of violence and guide individuals toward long-term stability, using community-based intervention rooted in Dr. King’s principles of nonviolence.
Breakthrough complements this work by partnering with people affected by poverty
— providing workforce development, youth programs, housing, and health services that open doors to opportunity and help build stronger futures.
Together, organizations like these combine employment support, outreach, and community engagement to break cycles of violence and create lasting change across Chicago neighborhoods.
