Keep Gads Hill Center Moving Forward
Gads Hill Center and the community rallying around it have real momentum.
We’ve watched new opportunities take shape across our organization and our communities. We are improving and expanding programs, strengthening partnerships, welcoming more people to our events, and building the capacity to serve more Chicago children and families.
Let’s keep building on what works.
This year, Gads Hill Center was selected as a leading provider for Chicago Public Schools’ Sustainable Community Schools initiative. We’ve launched our My Chi, My Future youth program, deepening our commitment to economic mobility and workforce development. We’re preparing to build out the second floor of our Brighton Park site, creating more space for programs and services. We’ve renewed and established partnerships and celebrated record-breaking fundraising and event attendance.
These aren’t isolated accomplishments. Together, they show what can happen when our team, our partners, our families, and supporters like you keep moving in the same direction.
