Life is all about transformation, your beginning does not have to be your end. Many individuals start out rough but along the way they meet individuals who assist them in making a U Turn!

U Can Turn It Around was formed out of necessity. In 2011 a neighborhood in West Humboldt Park  was hit by a string of violent acts which promoted the U Turn Founder to ask himself “How can we change this?”

The wheels in his head immediately began to turn and U Can Turn Around was birthed.  He wanted to encourage young people to play an active role in transforming their lives and  communities. Since it’s inception,

U Can Turn Around NFP has collaborated with West Park Academy, LNC Music, The Chicago Children’s Theater, Nobel Neighbors and the Healing Corner. U Can Turn It Around is part of Called2Serve NFP. Our goal is to address violence and many other issues by encouraging individuals to transform their lives and to direct them to resources that will assist them.
