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.

A Place to Start and a Community to Grow With

SC2 exists to meet people where they are and help them move toward where they want to be. We create a safe, supportive environment where participants can connect with mentors, build life skills, and access resources that make long-term progress possible.

“SC2 is about redesigning how communities show up for people who’ve been pushed to the margins. By working hand in hand, we’re proving that safety doesn’t begin with policing—it begins with opportunity, connection, and care.”
