PEACE
Building a Safe & Resilient Chicago
The Rebels for Peace's mission is to uncover the next generation of leaders and bring relatable, sustainable, and transformational mental health programs to youth in underserved communities.
"Our children need people they can identify with, connect to, and see themselves in. That is who the Rebels for Peace are, so the SEL seeds they plant actually take root and grow.
It’s not a program that is done TO students, it is done WITH students, and that’s what our young people need"

Join our goal to raise $300,000 necessary to serve over 600 students in 2025. Every dollar counts and goes directly to grass-roots youth-programming on the south-side of Chicago, through our 2 cornerstone programs.
1. Rebels for Peace Youth Leaders – A transformational leadership program for south side Chicago youth ages 16-25 designed to improve mental health, uncover resilience, and teach them how to mentor the next generation.
2. The Mini Rebels for Peace – An interactive, engaging, and evidence-based Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program taught by the Rebels for Peace youth leaders to 4th-8th grade students in south side Chicago public schools that decreases conflict, violence, and behavioral issues by increasing mental health, resilience, and problem-solving capacity.
