The Safety Net Works Initiative












The Safety Net Works is an initiative designed to stop the the tragic and unacceptable loss of life of too many young people in Illinois, and instead, instill hope for the future. The initiative combines and coordinates public and community resources through community coalitions to help young people avoid acts of crime and violence to which they are so vulnerable.

Each Southwest Community Coalition (SCC) member provides specific services and activities that fall into their areas of expertise and experience. These participating organizations have substantial experience coordinating programs, services, and campaigns together, many sharing both organizational and individual members as well as common concerns about the productive development of youth and ending violence in the community.
