We believe that our communities of color MUST have access to opportunities, livable wage paying jobs and to advance in a career of their choice. If interested, we ask that you register with the QR code provided on the flyer by 9/29/2022.
Any questions? Contact our organizers!

SWOP is working alongside GKMC Englewood and @TGiMovement to create a safe, fun and welcoming space for kids and teens to come out and participate in. Every Friday we will continue having these Kickbacks for the youth at 5pm.
Our Parent Mentors are headed back to the schools and to get them pumped for the upcoming fall semester, they had a kickoff event to show off their school spirit! Let’s go @ParentMentorsIL! 🥳
Hosting a VAX-A-THON with our partners this friday!

Our anti-violence team has been working hard to build community and provide restorative and refreshing activities within our community. On Saturday they hosted a block party style Light in the Night, and we couldn’t have been happier to see members of our community having fun.
