Share your story with Southside youth in the One Summer Chicago programs at Gary Comer Youth Center.

Are you an example of Black excellence? A woman in a male dominanted field? A POC working at a predominantly White institution? A young professional succeeding in your industry? A professional who identifies as LGBTQ+? Did you take a non-traditional route to your current success? Our youth need to hear your story from you!

Panels are part of our Summer Employment Programs’ professional development workshops. Youth partake in workshops and trainings relevant to their personal and professional growth, including financial literacy, interview skills, resume writing, and social-emotional learning like stress management, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution. Each day of workshops ends with a networking mixer for youth, staff and volunteers from 5:15-6:00pm.

Workshops are on Thursday, June 26; Thursday, July 10; or Thursday, July 24. With panels taking place at 1:30pm and 3:30pm.
