This year marks two significant anniversaries for Acclivus -- eight years of our organization taking a public health approach to community violence intervention (CVI) that transforms individuals, blocks and neighborhoods; and 20 years that our co-founder and CEO LeVon Stone Sr. has served as a full-time CVI employee. We marked the occasions with a huge community picnic celebration at Abbott Park in the Roseland community where it all started for "Von" and co-founder Dr. Joseph Strickland.

Acclivus, Inc. is a community health organization, focusing on the health and well-being of individuals living in Chicago’s most vulnerable neighborhoods.

Acclivus uses an intentional social network to serve vulnerable individuals, primarily those from communities that are disproportionately impacted by compounding barriers to health and success. 

Acclivus provides resources and support to assist at-risk Chicago residents with personal and professional growth. The goal is for each person to thrive as they overcome social challenges that may include but are not limited to chronic exposure to violence and trauma, poverty, a criminal background, disproportionately high rates of serious health conditions, and limited formal education.
 
In partnership with the Jane Addams Center for Social Policy and Research, Acclivus provides programs and services to address trauma, decrease health disparities, reduce incarceration, enhance educational opportunities, and increase employment options for individuals and their communities.
