HISTORY
The Institute was founded by members of St. Michael’s Church team ministry in 2001 as a long-term solution to violence.
Originally a training organization, the Institute hired its first Executive Director in 2001 and the Streetworkers program was introduced in 2003. Since then, a constellation of programs has grown to better serve the community’s most vulnerable youth and families whose lives have been affected by violence. Today the organization has a $1.8 million budget, a board of 30 members and a staff of 32. T

The future is in the hands of our youth, and we're dedicated to equipping them with the skills to navigate conflicts peacefully. Our nonviolence training is a lifelong commitment that these young adults will continue to practice and grow from. Best of luck to our April cohort!

As National Crime Victims’ Rights Week comes to a close, we pause to remember why this work matters.

National Crime Victim's Rights Week. Here are some reasons why we advocate.
