Engage and serve those at the highest risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of firearm violence by utilizing evidence-informed programming and services which will improve individual outcomes and decrease risk factors associated with firearm violence in the Chicagoland area. Serving all ages.

This community services program works side-by-side with the trusted street outreach teams already serving people most affected by violence. Together, we’re adding trauma-informed victim services — care and support that understand what you’ve been through and help you heal. That means when you connect with outreach workers you already know, you can also get help with recovery, safety, and emotional support — all in one place, from people who care and understand your experience. Serving individuals ages 14-24.

The Summit Community Network (SCN) is a coalition whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for Summit and surrounding areas. Local service providers, public servants and residents are working together to improve educational outcomes, parent engagement, health, and safety. The group formed in July 2020 when SGA Youth & Family Services and our community partners saw the imminent need for community collaboration in the Summit community to coordinate information and resources for families who were in crisis due to COVID-19. The group has evolved into a network of more than 50 partners and accomplishes its goals by bringing together key stakeholders to create a more robust and efficient social service infrastructure and engage institutions, community leaders, and those with lived experience in making Summit a community where all families can thrive.
