In Chicago, most of our time is spent on the city’s south side and serving in the surrounding community. Your group will help to meet the needs of Chicago’s people by partnering with local ministries working with children, the elderly, and those experiencing homelessness. You may also have the opportunity to serve at a food pantry or urban garden and contribute to the work being done to eliminate food insecurity. In the evenings, you could learn from local friends about the community, and experience a taste of downtown Chicago. YouthWorks has partnered with this community since 1999.
