MBK Chicago Southwest / Latino Regional Meeting

This month’s gathering will serve as a Community Violence Intervention (CVI) check-in, bringing together trusted community practitioners who are actively engaged in violence prevention and street-level outreach. Given our shared familiarity with MBK and its mission, this session will focus on practical insights, collaboration, and alignment rather than introductory overviews.

The gathering will feature a facilitated conversation with leaders involved in community safety and violence interruption efforts, alongside participation from SC2 and community partners. Attendees can expect a candid discussion around current realities, lessons learned, and opportunities to strengthen coordinated responses across organizations and neighborhoods.

Who should attend:

• Community Violence Intervention practitioners
• Street outreach and violence prevention leaders
• Community partners and MBK allies
• Anyone interested in learning more about this work

This space is intended for honest dialogue, shared learning, and continued partnership as we work collectively toward safer, more resilient communities.
