CRED takes a multifaceted approach to reducing gun violence. CRED works directly with the individuals who are most likely to carry a gun or get shot, and with the communities where gun violence is most concentrated. Through Street Outreach, Coaching & Counseling, Workforce Development, and Advocacy & Prevention CRED lifts young men and women, and rally neighborhoods to dramatically rewrite the story of gun violence in Chicago. It is part of a broad-based coalition that approaches violence reduction as a public health crisis and works at the city and state level to create real, sustainable change.
