Through I Grow Chicago and the Peace House, Englewood residents within a five-block radius of the center have access to yoga classes, mentoring workshops, support groups for women and mothers, a community pantry, laundry services, and training in restorative justice practices. The organization has also helped the community build a relationship with local law enforcement.
