Project H.O.O.D. (Helping Others Obtain Destiny) is a nonprofit organization helping to end violence & building communities one neighborhood at a time. Project HOOD, a 501 c(3) organization, established in 2012. We gang up on the problem and not each other. Community and Economic Development, Building Leaders and Ending Violence. Our mission is to empower people with the guidance, information and tools necessary to become peacemakers, problem solvers, leaders, and entrepreneurs in their communities. After sleeping on the roof of an abandoned motel for 94 days to bring attention to gun violence on the south side of Chicago, the "Rooftop Pastor" Corey Brooks started Project HOOD with the vision of "ending violence and building communities, one neighborhood at a time." Our programming is designed to equip youth, adults, and families with the resources, skills, tools and experiences that are needed to be successful, healthy and upwardly mobile members of society. We are on the forefront of innovation and transformation in our Chicago community.
