Metropolitan Peace Academy
Chicago, IL 60608, USA

If asked to describe the culture at Metropolitan Family Services, we could do that in one word.
COMMUNITY! Reflected in both our internal culture as well as through the services we provide, community is at the heart of all we do.

MFS is spear-heading the Communities Partnering 4 Peace, a framework designed to provide comprehensive, long-term approach to reduce violence and gang activity. This framework will bring together community-driven strategies that will empower community-based organizations to intervene with those individuals at the highest risk of driving the violence while working with the overall resident population to transform perceptions and realities of their community.

This holistic framework responds to high-risk incidents while also being proactive in preventing situations.
