Nonviolence Chicago

The mission of the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago is to replace the cycle of violence using the principles, practices and teachings of nonviolence.

Using a collaborative community-based approach founded on the theories and practices of nonviolence and relationship building, the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago focuses on the highest risk individuals and the communities in which they live.

Nonviolence is for courageous people; it’s a way of life. Through the teachings of Dr. King, the Institute implements a holistic approach to ending violence through reaching the highest risk individuals while building the support and community around them to succeed.
