New Life Centers

New Life Centers of Chicagoland is a faith-based nonprofit organization established in 2005 by New Life Community Church to address youth violence, gang involvement, and community needs in Chicago’s predominantly immigrant neighborhoods. Operating centers in Little Village, Humboldt Park, Pilsen, Midway, and Brighton Park, the organization connects youth and young adults through mentoring, education, sports, peacemaking, and community care programs, while also providing violence prevention services, street outreach, and food assistance through its Pan de Vida food pantry. The organization has grown to serve as a nationwide model for gang intervention and citywide model for after-school programs, working to transform communities and help youth reach their full potential.
