Congratulations!!! Ogden Park and the Seventeenth Ward now has a piece of history that our youth created. The community showed up to support 40 youth who designed a community mural over the course of a 6 week Summer camp. Thank you to Children's Home & Aid and One Summer Chicago for partnering with us on this project and to everyone who came to the unveiling to celebrate and encourage our youth to continue doing community beatification projects and creative expressions. Truly we are better together. #StayLIT #CommunityYouthServices #LivingInTruth #TransformationalLeadership #KeepShining #BeTheLight #MentorsMatter
