Sue Duncan Children's Center

Sue Duncan has been teaching kids at her South Side Chicago after-school Children's Center since 1960. On a daily basis, an average of 40 children attend the Center to receive one-on-one tutoring, participate in educational group discussions on a variety of topics, receive a nutritious meal and enjoy recreational activities. The daily program runs Monday through Thursday at Jackie Robinson School. A group for younger children is provided while the older ones work with tutors to complete their homework.

Territory NFP

Territory is an afterschool and summer design team program, putting young people to work in their own communities, using urban design to build community identity and re-imagine public spaces across Chicago. Team members learn design skills through activities, and each team completes an urban design, public art or placemaking project working in partnership with their host community, and each project is unique, reflecting the expertise of our team members and the needs of the community.
