WORDS FROM THE CO-FOUNDERS

CHANGING CHICAGO
ONE MIND AT A TIME

Let your environment become a product of you.

The Rebels for Peace was founded by Dajohn White and Prince Jimmar after they had an insight about how all the things that seemed unsolvable like the circle of violence, retaliation, poverty etc all actually could be solved, if we looked at the mind, instead of complaining about what can't be done. They went from hopeless to hopefull, and now spend their time sharing this with as many people as they can.

Hundreds of youth-leaders has now joined their side in their Summer Leadership Program, and together they have impacted thousands of 4-8 graders in Chicago Public Schools.
