Help teach Cooking to Englewood Students at Stagg Elementary!

Do you have a passion for education and some free time in the afternoon? Are you upset by the educational inequality in our city and want to make a difference? The Community Schools Initiative, a part of Children’s Home Aid’s Clinical and Community Services, works to alleviate the barriers to learning created by poverty and violence for students attending struggling Chicago Public Schools. The Community Schools Program has a cooking program on Mondays and Wednesdays for 4th-8th graders, and would LOVE to have volunteers help the youth participate and learn more about cooking and healthy eating! The schools would appreciate ongoing volunteers who could come once or twice weekly and be a reliable presence for the kids. Children's Home & Aid works with students who come from Chicago's most impoverished, violent, and resource-limited communities. We provide supportive services to help encourage students' academic achievement and social-emotional development. Since 2002, Children’s Home Aid has provided academic support, enrichment, counseling services and parent and community programs in a safe and supportive environment at its partner schools during the after-school hours. Cooking Programming at Stagg Elementary runs Monday and Wednesday from 4:00-6:00pm throughout the school year.
