We nourish Chicago kids in the most under-resourced neighborhoods – mind, body, and soul – to someday become the agents of change in our city and beyond.
We believe that the solution to violence in Chicago is raising up a new generation of healthy, knowledgeable, and purpose-driven children within the very neighborhoods where the violence occurs. By The Hand literally takes kids by the hand, starting in kindergarten, and walks with them all the way through college. Our program gives kids a safe learning environment during the most dangerous time of day – the after-school hours – and cares for them holistically with tutoring, nutritious meals, eye and dental care, counseling, spiritual development, and enriching activities like basketball and art.
