Neighborhood Schools Program Revenue and Competitors

Founded in 1976, as an effort to create pathways of engagement between the University and local schools, our program has grown over the years and now partners with 50 sites on Chicago's South Side and involves over 500 University student employees and volunteers engaging with more than 4,000 local youth each year. Our 50 sites include elementary, middle, and high schools, community centers, and government offices. We place students in roles such as tutors, teaching assistants, administrative interns, and preschool specialists. We offer different ways for local schools, community partners, parents, and UChicago students, campus partners, and alumni to get involved!
