JOIN US IN BUILDING A MORE SAFE, PEACEFUL, AND JUST CHICAGO
We aren't powerless over the violence in Chicago. We can end it if we refuse revenge. Refuse to accept the way things are. And refuse to be bystanders. Are you ready to be a part of this movement? There are many ways you can help. Volunteer. Donate. Participate in one of our nonviolence training workshops. Spread the word about our work on social media. Whatever you can do is needed. And welcomed.

Meet Institute for Nonviolence Chicago CEO, Teny Gross, and Vice President of Development & Communications, Shunda Collins, along with CVI frontline staff and hear how we work 24/7 to make Chicago a safer city for us all.
Participate in or convene a nonviolence training.
Tell friends or family to make hygiene packs for participants. We always need soap, shampoo, lotion, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, boxers, and white t-shirts.
Invite us to speak about our mission to build peace in Chicago at your next event.
Donate local restaurant gift cards for hot meals during mourning periods or floral shop gift cards for families that cannot afford flowers for services or gravesites.

Volunteer your talents! If you have a background in photography, videography, marketing and communications, event planning, project management, data analysis, we may need your help on special projects or seasonally.
