"Our children need people they can identify with, connect to, and see themselves in. That is who the Rebels for Peace are, so the SEL seeds they plant actually take root and grow.

URGENT NEWS!
Due to unforeseen budget cuts in Chicago Public School, we are in a crisis of sustainability with our current 6 schools. We are reaching out to our community to support us in ensuring that we can continue this important work.
To ensure that we can provide mental health support to our 4th-8th graders we need your help to collectively raise $300,000 to continue our program in the same 6 schools.
To help you can:
– Sponsor a student for $450 (or $40 per month) for a year
– Sponsor a class of 25 students for $12,000 for a FULL year
– Sponsor an entire school for $48,000 for a FULL year
If you’re unable to reach these significant numbers, every dollar counts and gets us closer to our goal.
We thank you for your support and your commitment to providing mental health eduction and mentorship for kids in Chicago’s most under-resourced communities!
