Restoring the Path
We arm young people with the support and skills they need to restore their lives and improve their neighborhood. Crushers Club restores high risk youth to a path of maturity through employment, workforce development, intensive mentoring, love, support and more. Restoring the Path (dba Crushers Club) was founded by Sally Hazelgrove in 2011 to be the strongest alternative to gangs by providing high-risk boys and young men with the support and skills needed to restore their lives and improve their neighborhood. Crushers Club is a year-round youth violence prevention and reduction program located in Englewood on Chicago’s South Side. The Crushers Club theory of change – reflecting learnings from program delivery and the field’s best practices – is to harness the same tactics used by gangs in order to redirect and stabilize at-risk male youth rather than incarcerating them.
