Young Life - Chicago Near North
Young Life starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don't happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency. Young Life leaders log many hours with kids — where they are, as they are. We listen to their stories and learn what's important to them because we genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks. We believe in the power of presence. Kids' lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God's love with them. Because their Young Life leader believes in them, teens begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose. This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make today, based upon God's love for them, will impact future decisions… careers chosen, marriages formed and families raised. All ripple from the time when a Young Life leader took time to reach out and enter their world.
Chicago Jazz Philharmonic
Chicago Jazz Philharmonic presents Third Stream, a musical genre merging jazz and classical traditions, as a way to bridge communities, educate the next generation of musicians, encourage cross-cultural dialogue, and expand creative practice.
Jane Adams Senior Caucus
Jane Adams Senior Caucus is a multiracial, grassroots organization led by concerned seniors in the Chicago metropolitan area. They cross neighborhood, racial, religious and socio-economic lines to find common ground upon which to act on their values. Through leadership development, organizing and popular education, they use the power of their collective voice to work for economic, social and racial justice for all seniors and their communities.
Near North Unity Program
Near North Unity Program (NNUP) seeks to connect and convene residents and stakeholders in our diverse community, enhance its growth, and improve the quality of life for all. This is done by building upon local strengths through planning, organizing and human development. The goals of NNUP are to promote communication and cohesion; develop programs that cut across class, race, housing status and geographic boundaries, providing a common interest to the community as a whole; respond to community issues; and maintain a cohesive local leadership structure.
The Seabury Foundation
The Seabury Foundation recognizes that many of the issues, needs and challenges confronting people in our times arise from the circumstances in which they live. The potential for improving or moving beyond those circumstances may be hampered by a lack of information or skills, or by the inability to access educational opportunities. Therefore, the Foundation strives to increase the prospects for children, youth, and adults to master, surmount or transform their circumstances by helping to provide access to the myriad of educational opportunities that exist and by helping to create educational programs where they are missing.
