That’s how Jervon Hicks describes his mission as an outreach worker and life coach on Chicago’s South Side.
Growing up in the city, Hicks, 44, found himself behind bars multiple times for what he says was “guns and shooting.” Now, he’s trying to prevent his history from becoming someone else’s future.
Hicks works with the anti-gun violence group Chicago CRED, or Creating Real Economic Destiny. He doesn’t have a badge, gun or vest — he has what he calls an “LTO,” or a figurative license to operate on some of Chicago’s more violent South Side streets, earned through reputation and relationships.
“No amount of money can change what’s going on if you don’t have your feet on the ground,” said Hicks.
It’s a critical part of the city’s wider-ranging approach to help prevent gun violence in Chicago — what Mayor Lori Lightfoot has called a “whole-of-government approach” to public safety.
