Washington, President of the Illinois Commission on Diversity and Human Relations said, “We're excited to work with Robert Renteria and the Barrio Foundation and make an impact on violence in our community. They have a proven ability to help transform the lives of our children and their families. I am looking forward to building this collaborative network which shows our youth that they have options.”
Robert Renteria, added, “We are honored to be working with a like-missioned agency like the Illinois Commission on Diversity and Human Relations. We have similar school-based and faith-based curriculum which inspires, motivates, and teaches teens and at-risk youth how to make better choices. President Obama returned to Chicago on Friday to address what I refer to as one on the 'now issues' -- gun control.
