INTEGRITY & FIDELITIY NFP
CVI SOLUTIONS THAT WORK
I&F is a Community Violence Intervention (CVI) organization dedicated to reducing gun violence among youth and young adults in Chicago’s inner city and South Suburbs. We operate on the front lines, building trusted relationships and responding to conflicts in real time. Our team of trained violence interrupters and outreach professionals serve as credible messengers—intervening in high-risk situations and mediating conflicts before they escalate into gunfire.
At I&F, we combine street outreach, conflict mediation, and wraparound support services to address the root causes of violence and promote long-term safety and healing in our communities.
Reduction in violence, shooting homicides, and other negative health outcomes in disproportionately effected communities.
To educate youth on alternative conflict resolution strategies in order to combat the epidemic of gun violence in our communities.
We serve as an intermediary in street conflicts and flare-ups that carry a high risk of ending in death or incarceration due to the use of a gun.
