Who We Serve & why

Lead with Love serves youth & families within Southside Chicago`s priority communities including; Auburn Gresham, Englewood, West Englewood, Chatam, Greater Grand Crossing, and Roseland.

The Southside communities that we serve are listed in the top 15 priority communities as identified by Chicago`s violence data. Lead with Love aims to address root causes of violence within these communities by combating the social injustices that affect Southside youth and families.

Our goal is to empower youth to become agents of change and leaders in their communities through the prioritization of their mental health, physical health, education, and exposure opportunities.
