For children experiencing housing instability, life can feel uncertain and overwhelming — but we’re working to change that. Chicago HOPES for Kids is the only nonprofit organization in the city to provide educational support and specialized direct services and to students experiencing homelessness.

Through our transformative after-school programs, we create spaces where children feel free to be who they are, connect with caring adults, and rediscover the joy of learning.

This year, creating and sustaining these safe spaces has become more challenging than ever. Rising costs and shrinking federal funding threaten the stability our students depend on. Yet the need for safe spaces for vulnerable children has never been greater. Help us reach our Giving Tuesday goal of $5,000 by making your donation today!
