​SUMMER STRETCH

CHICAGO

Who:  Incoming 11th-12th graders.

What:  The Alternative Summer Break program affords participants the unique opportunity to live and serve at a homeless shelter for women and children who are escaping domestic violence.  Through this immersion experience, students will learn about urban farming, food insecurity, hunger, and homelessness.  Students will perform a variety of tasks such as preparing and serving meals, working in the shelter’s urban garden, landscaping, sorting donated clothes, distributing food at a neighborhood pantry, and providing care to children staying at the shelter.  By the end of the four day experience, students will accumulate over 20 hours of service. 

Where:  Su Casa in Chicago, Illinois
 
When:  June 7-10, 2018

Why:  Participants will begin to understand the plight of the poor and marginalized while developing skills that will help them to be informed and active citizens in their school, community, and world.

Fee:  $120 ($0/students qualified for free/reduced lunch).  Transportation and lodging expenses included in fee.  Students will need spending money to cover the cost of meals, public transportation in Chicago, and any incidental expenses over the four days.
