About us

For 130 years, Chicago Commons’ mission has been to partner with individuals, families, and communities to overcome poverty, discrimination, and isolation. Chicago Commons enables families to break the cycle of poverty by providing early education, strengthening parents and caring for the elderly, while also advocating for their equal chance at success. From our first settlement house, we’ve centered ourselves in underserved communities to give our neighbors the tools and skills they need to reach their greatest potential.

    🎉 We had the most perfect weather for the Paulo Freire Center's end-of-year celebration! Our families and kids enjoyed food, music, painting, temporary tattoos, a bouncy house, and community resources shared by our very own Family Hub. This was also a final hurrah for our preschoolers to hang out with friends and family one last time before starting kindergarten in the fall. - - - A big thanks to all the staff at Paulo Freire Center for your hard work, dedication, and for putting together such a wonderful celebration for our families. 🎨 #ChicagoCommons #ThrivingAcrossGenerations #EarlyEducation #CommunityCelebration #BackoftheYardsEvents https://lnkd.in/gfwUgcAB
