Every month the Peace and Education Coalition, made up of stakeholders committed to creating a strategy for peace and educational opportunities for the people, gather to have a dialogue about the positive efforts being made in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.  Recently, the Coalition has been conversing about the effects of the Presidential Executive orders and how we address our concerns. The Coalition is also planning a Youth Summit, as well as several workshop to accompany the mental health of the community. A “Wellness Summit”, to be held over several weeks of Spring, is being hosted by SOS Children’s Village and San Miguel School covering the areas of: Immigration, Community Violence, The clash of Culture, Financial Empowerment, and General Mental Health.
