Alliance of Local Service Organizations

Community Violence Prevention ProgramsThrough Violence Prevention initiatives, the organization develops partnerships between community - based organizations, residents, clergy, law enforcement, business and civic leaders, and corporate and philanthropic organizations. Together, these diverse groups focus on a single goal: to reduce violence in all forms in targeted zones within Chicago and other communities in Illinois. The organization works to interrupt violence through outreach, intervention, education, and community awareness.

Family Violence Prevention ProgramsThe nationally assisted Family Violence Prevention Program is comprised of three initiatives - the STOP Technical Assistance to Administrators Resource Project (STAAR), Consolidated Youth Technical Assistance (CYTA), and the Underserved Technical Assistance Project. STAAR is focused on developing and strengthening criminal justice and community-based responses to address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. CYTA is focused on addressing the needs of children and youth exposed to violence by providing training and technical assistance to those who serve them. The Underserved TA Project is focused on addressing the needs of victims of gender-based violence from underserved communities, including LGBTQ, deaf, and religious minority communities, by providing training and technical assistance to those who serve them.

Training ServicesThe Organization prepares young people to enter into and succeed in the workplace. This is accomplished by immersing young people in the experience of a job, getting paid while gaining the skills and experiences needed to succeed in a safe and supportive environment.
