Responsibilities

  • At Chicago CRED, we take a multifaceted approach to reducing gun violence, one proven to work in other cities. To create lasting change, we work directly with the individuals who are most likely to carry a gun or get shot, and with the communities where gun violence is most concentrated. Through Street Outreach, Coaching & Counseling, Workforce Development, and Advocacy & Prevention, we lift young people, and rally neighborhoods to dramatically rewrite the story of gun violence. Chicago CRED operates eight community-based hubs around the city of Chicago. These offices offer our participants services ranging from housing to clinical therapy, case management, and education. Interns will be assigned to a specific team supporting one of the key pillars of our work. The specific team selection will be made based upon the intern’s area of interest as well as the most pressing needs of the organization.
