About the Peace Corner

Peace Corner in the Press

The Voice of Charity podcast spotlighted us in 2023. Watch it on YouTube to meet Sarah and Jonathan, hear about our recent programs, and see on-site videos and photos!

Our building’s architecture was featured in Open House Chicago in 2018. Check out the beautiful photos!

Our work was recognized by Chicago Catholic newspaper in 2016. Check out this article, which also has some great photos!

We were featured in 2012 in the Chicago Reporter. This article has some photos, too, but we’ve made a few changes since then.

Our Programs

After School Programming

The Peace Corner offers after school programming for youth ages 8-18, five days a week. Students begin their time here with a nutritious snack, followed by required homework completion overseen by adult mentors.

Amani Leadership Program

Designed to help children navigate the challenges of middle school and set them on a path toward a successful life, the Amani Leadership Program begins in October. If you have a 5^th grader, or know someone who does, check out this amazing opportunity!

Classes and Programs

Creative exploration comes to life as your child dives into exciting projects related to art, music, and STEM subjects, fostering a love for learning. The Peace Corner Youth Center offers classes and ongoing programs that give neighborhood youth ages 8-18 a chance to explore their interests.

When I need help with my homework after school I can come here, and there are sports and activities.
