National Youth Violence Prevention Week – Kankakee United

Join us for a week of events focused on awareness, unity, and positive action 

Kankakee United, Live FREE, and Kankakee Forgives hosted a Community Pop-Up event focused on bringing neighbors together and building a safer, stronger future.

When we unite as a community, we create real change. Thank you to everyone who came out, connected, and showed what community looks like in Kankakee.

The Kankakee United Gaming Tournament was a huge success!

We had an incredible turnout with several happy winners and tons of great prizes for participants. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the event such a fun and positive experience!

A special thank you to the Kankakee Police Department for giving away three PlayStation 5 consoles!

And thank you to ICCCS and Kankakee Forgives for their outstanding coordination and support.

The Kankakee County Health Department recently sat down with Kankakee United to check in on their latest efforts and hear what’s on the horizon. From community engagement to upcoming initiatives, tune in to hear how they’re making an impact right here in Kankakee.
