With centers in Little Village and Humboldt Park, New Life Centers of Chicagoland connect youth and young adults with Christ and Community through mentoring, education, and sports. Many children in the neighborhood encounter language barriers, gang pressure and a poor educational system. New Life Centers hopes to provide a safe place for them to learn and grow holistically, where confidence can be built, and where opportunity can be given.

Violence Prevention Programs
The Urban Life Skills Program is an intensive Gang Intervention Program in the Little Village Community on Chicago’s Southwest Side. The program is closely partnered with the Cook County Juvenile Probation Department and is founded upon mentoring. Each one of the youth that enters the program is assigned a mentor and then brought into the full array of services provided by the program, such as mentoring, gang intervention counseling, substance abuse classes, art therapy, job readiness training, tutoring, GED classes, court advocacy, social activities, and family support. Contact the volunteer coordinator through their online form.
