ENDING THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO BY ADDRESSING EVERY PHASE.
The Institute for Nonviolence Chicago is a respected leader in gun violence prevention, intervention, and reduction. Our critical work heals and restores Chicago communities with the highest incidences of shootings through street outreach, job programs, behavioral health and wellness, and meaningful partnerships with Community Violence Intervention (CVI) and research organizations. 

Our values and actions are guided by the nonviolence principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Like Dr. King, we believe everyone has a part to play in ending gun violence. Our evidence-based model brings together civilians and organizations to implement wraparound services for high-risk individuals in Austin, West Garfield Park, Back of the Yards, and portions of Brighton Park—bringing more peace, compassion, hope, and love to our streets and keeping Chicago safe for generations.
