Marcus started with Nonviolence Chicago in 2018 as a READI Outreach Worker. He was then promoted to Lead READI Outreach, Workforce Development Specialist, Lead Workforce Development Specialist, and in 2023, he became the Workforce Development Supervisor. He is dedicated to helping participants find employment in the legal economy, stay employed and excel professionally, while instilling and promoting nonviolence. He is originally from the Cabrini Green Housing Projects, and he is committed to giving back because, as he says, he was once part of the disruption in the community. Now, he is part of the solution.
