About Us

The Peace Corner Youth Center

The Peace Corner Youth Center is a 503(c)(3) organization located in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago’s Westside. Originally established to provide the neighborhood youth a safe haven from gang violence and drug dealing, The Peace Corner has grown into a community center that provides employment services, GED classes, basic skill development, basketball leagues, legal counseling, mentoring, tutoring, and hope for all that are willing to take a step in a positive direction.

Our mission is to serve Austin community youth on the west side of Chicago. We want to enable all young people to better themselves including those released from the detention centers, those in trouble, and those simply wanting a safe place to play with no distinction of faith, race, or background. The Peace Corner wants to help make the Austin neighborhood of Chicago a safer, better, productive, and nurturing place for young people to flourish.
