Meet the 2022 Chicago Peace Fellows

Introducing the 2022 Chicago Peace Fellows

The Goldin Institute invites you to learn about each of our 2022 Chicago Peace Fellows representing 14 community areas across the city who are coming together as a community of practice to promote peace and reduce violence. Founded in 2019 in collaboration with the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities, the Chicago Peace Fellows program is the only leadership development program that is built by and for grassroots community leaders on the South and West sides of Chicago.

A special thanks to the Chicago Community Trust, the Conant Family Foundation, Crown Family Philanthropies, the Frankel Family Foundation, the Polk Bros. Foundation, the Racial Justice Pooled Fund, the Seabury Family Foundation, the Walder Family Foundation and the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities for making this program possible.

Mutual Aid Collaborative models Shared Leadership

The Chicago Peace Fellows Mutual Aid Collaborative launched the Peace Flowers campaign to deliver bouquets to mothers that have lost children to violence

The Chicago Peace Fellows launched the Mutual Aid Collaborative as a model of shared leadership, collaborative decision-making and collective action to support communities on the South and West Sides through the twin epidemics of COVID-19 and violence. The Mutual Aid Collaborative has remained active in its support of the communities in Chicago most impacted by these epidemics for the last year and a half, providing sought after resources, building community, and creating spaces for healing.

 “The Mutual Aid Collaborative is made up of 60 Black and Brown leaders and committed allies who live and work in the communities they serve on the South and West sides. They practice a liberatory model of shared leadership, accountability, collaborative decision-making and collective action."
