Description

This month, GIVE will be in partnership with the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club (5480 S Kenwood Ave, Chicago, IL 60615). The Hyde Park Neighborhood Club is a private non-profit youth serving agency that has been located in Hyde Park since 1909! Their mission is to bring people together to strengthen the health, vitality, and sustainability of the diverse local community through programs and partnerships, with a particular focus on child and youth development.

Volunteers will assist by cleaning toys, preparing craft supplies, and cleaning up (weeding & planting) the children's garden and play areas lining both the front and back of the building. Volunteers should dress casually and in clothes that are appropriate for potentially working outside and getting dirty. Closed-toed shoes should be worn, and a mask is required by all volunteers. We recommend bringing a water bottle and snacks if you would like them.  

Volunteers will be required to show their UIC Daily Pass in order to verify compliance with UIC COVID policies, upon arrival before they are allowed to participate in the service project. Please do not show up to volunteer if you are feeling ill or showing any symptoms of COVID-19 - you can email slce@uic.edu to notify staff members of your absence. 

A shuttle will be provided for all volunteers, departing from UIC at 9:30am. Volunteers who plan to use the shuttle should arrive in front of Student Center East (750 S. Halsted St.) no later than 9:15am. If you do not arrive to UIC on time, you may be left behind when the shuttle departs and will have to make your way to the service site on your own. Parking at the service site is on street and/or in parking lot across from the facility, for those that choose to arrive on their own. 

Any questions or concerns? Please email slce@uic.edu
