Neighborhood Outreach

CIRCLE Foundation works in partnership with Chicago Peace Organization (CPO) and Interrupt the Violence (ITV) to decrease inner city community-specific youth violence. We focus on resource mapping, identifying partners, coordinating community events, and establishing criteria for outreach to the highest risk youth with the aim of reducing violence and shifting the culture that reinforces it. Our collaborations include hosting peace tournaments, flag football events, bag giveaways, peace circles, and BBQs to promote positivity and peace throughout the high violent communities in the Chicagoland area.
