We aim to cast a net of resources and services around students, families, and community members to address increasing violence and related trauma in the Chicago West and Chicago South Cluster areas
Build Resiliency
We address substance abuse, violence prevention and partnering with others to empower individuals by aiding in the building of healthy, and resilient communities across Chicago.
Reduce Trauma
Youth & Families engaged in GBPS services will gain social and emotional skills and build resilience through connecting with others, addressing the trauma they experienced in their lives and identifying alternatives to violence in resolving conflict.
Our mission is igniting awareness through collective perspectives and guiding the strategic implementation of community solutions to build healthy youth, informed individuals, organizational capacity, and resilient communities.
