Alternatives mission is to inspire young people to create a just future through practices that heal individuals, restore communities, and transform systems. We provide Restorative Justice and Behavioral Health services to young people in Chicago. Our programs and services are offered from our locations in Uptown and Washington Park and through partnerships with 50 schools and a dozen partnering youth service agencies. We envision young people, free. Free from oppression, free in their identities, and free to pursue their wildest ambitions.
