We are a small non-profit 501(C)3 organization doing big things. Our organization is all volunteer in North Lawndale, Chicago, USA. We are looking for volunteers to join our grants committee to work remotely to help raise funds for our programming and to fund the building of a new neighborhood center to support neighborhood communities and improve the world.
Summer/Fall Programming: Peace Parks from vacant lots honoring black heroes, Social Justice Issues Program (SJI), Conflict Resolution & De-escalation Training, Fashion Show, Summer Art Show for volunteers, art making, gardening, Cleaning the Environment, August Youth Art Fest, September Art Walk on Kedzie, and more!
Tubman Kahlo Resource Center is being planned for our community. It will employ people of all abilities, house a vegan cafe, a florist shop, a re-furbished furniture store, a referrals office, an art gallery, patio, computers & books reception area; and 2nd & 3rd floors with spaces for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses, plus a conference room and art studio. There will be a rooftop garden. We hope to offer after school programing, spoken word and other arts on the stage, community meetings, a social justice issues program, and community peace patrol from the building.
We need volunteers to join our grant committee to help us move forward. If interested, please RSVP to attend orientation on a Saturday of your choosing from noon-1p.m. contact@urbanartretreat.com We are looking for skilled and non-skilled people.
