WHAT IS SC2?

Scaling Community Violence for a Safer Chicago (or SC2) is a program that brings together more than a dozen community support teams to reduce gun violence and create safer neighborhoods across Chicago.

Our chapter connects with individuals in Humboldt Park who are ready to shift their mindset, stop the violence, and start their future. We connect you with resources for work, education, life coaching, mental health, and safe community building.

Whatever kind of support you need, we're the link.

Stop the Violence, Start the Future

When a fresh start seems impossible, SC2 steps in. Join us and take advantage of all the life-changing services your neighborhood has to offer. Land a job, go back to school, or just find a safe place to work on your free throws. Join us and rewrite your story.

Resources Designed to Help You Move Forward

SC2 brings multiple support services together so participants can access what they need without barriers or confusion. You don’t have to figure everything out at once—tell us about your top priority, and we'll work together on the rest.

Street Outreach

We meet our participants right on their own block. Our outreach workers post up around Humboldt Park to be an open ear for you, and throw safe community socials.

Education

We'll help you go back to school to get your high school diploma or your college degree. Or, if you want to break into a new industry, we'll connect you with certification courses.

Employment

We’ll help you land—and keep—a job worthy of your skills. Our programs lead directly to hiring, with access to opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.

Life Coaching

Work one-on-one with a life coach to set and fulfill goals that put you on the path you've dreamed of. Build confidence, alter your lifestyle, and set an example for people around you.

Mental Health

We'll get you in touch with a licensed therapist or counselor for recovery-focused mental health care. Whether you're working through a past trauma, or ready to tackle an addiction, we're in your corner.

Ready to Take the First Step?

 Tell us what you need—a job, education, support, or guidance—and we’ll help you take the first step forward.

"We aren't trying to fix you. We aren't trying to save you. But we're leaving a door open for you, no matter what. We're a friend, a brother, a sister in the neighborhood who is ready when you are to make a change. SC2 is about relentless engagement."

- Jose, Director of Safe Streets, SC2 Humboldt Park Coalition
