Organization Overview:
Chicago Cares is redefining volunteerism. We are committed to community-driven service: service co-designed in partnership with Chicago’s most impactful community leaders and organizations on the south and west sides. We serve “with” not “to”. Through community-driven service, we build connections and bridges among diverse people in the face of great division and disconnection. Our work to change hearts and minds isn’t a luxury right now.
It is a necessity for a just society. We can’t legislate our way to caring about one another. We must do it person by person. Service can help us build the city we all deserve. It can be a force for a more caring and just society. Chicago Cares is building the empathetic and connected community that is required for an inclusive and healthy city.
