Paul Robinson works as the deputy head of programs at Chicago Cred, an anti-gun violence organization co-founded by former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Laurene Powell Jobs, founder and president of the social-impact organization Emerson Collective.
Robinson is always visible in the communities the organization serves. He encounters people with PTSD, finds housing for the program’s homeless participants and travels across the city to its eight locations. The stress of the job took its toll.
