Today is International Youth Day, a day which celebrates our youth of today as tomorrow’s future world leaders. 2017’s focus is dedicated to celebrating young people’s contributions to conflict prevention and transformation. That conflict prevention starts right here at home, in Chicago. Lawrence Hall is proud to participate in training our Chicago community youth to be peace keepers through our partnership with After School Matters. These incredible young people dedicate themselves to making a positive change in themselves, their peers, and their communities. Last week, the peace keepers coordinated a peace circle with Lawrence Hall youth, and Chicago Police. They continued with their planned circle despite a downpour that would deter most, but not them. Their inspiring perseverance builds bridges, brings hope and the belief that anything is possible for the future with our next generation.

We've had a great morning representing Lawrence Hall at the 14th Annual Health & Fitness Fair, hosted by State Senator Mattie Hunter at the Illinois Institute of Technology! Our dynamic Foster Care team has been talking to folks about Lawrence Hall's Foster Care Program and how to become a Foster Parent. Our Try-Me's culinary arts kids and Chef Phil have been blending up their delicious fresh fruit smoothies for fair goers, giving people a taste of what they can get at our Try-Me's Cafe at the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration! Thanks again to all who planned this wonderful event! ... See MoreSee Less
