At Chicago HOPES for Kids, we are committed to our children’s educational development and long-term empowerment through academic support, dedicated mentorship and basic needs services.With over a decade of service, we are the only organization in Chicago that provides educational and specialized support directly to children experiencing homelessness. We proudly serve more than 325 students and their families annually and look forward to many more years of collaboration with our community! Our program consists of three major components: homework help, individual literacy support and enrichment activities. Our curriculum is rooted in Social-Emotional Learning and Trauma-informed practices allowing for a focus not just on individual academic needs, but providing a whole-child approach. Our programs are held 2-4 days a week for 2-3 hours at shelter sites and community spaces across Chicago. Programming runs on a semester basis year-round: Fall Programming begins in September and runs through mid-December. Winter/Spring programming begins in January and runs through the end of May. Summer programming begins June and runs through early August. All programs are coordinated out of our central office housed at 318 W. Adams St, Suite 600C, Chicago, IL 60606.
