I Grow Chicago

The mission of I Grow Chicago is to grow Englewood from surviving to thriving through community connection, skill building, and opportunity.

We envision a world where love lives in public. We engage more than 3,000 people per year to address the root causes of trauma and violence. Everything we do stems from one goal: to solve the root causes of violence and trauma. Our holistic Healing Justice model combines cultural transformation, community development, and individual empowerment. Ultimately, we work to change communities through people and people through community.
