Still Choosing Chicago
Summer Camp 2017 Outreach Fundraising Effort
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” --Martin Luther King Jr.
Still Choosing Chicago aspires to help Chicago Youth survive in the inner city. We will practice Yoga and Mindfulness as an approach to help Chicago’s youth and teens reduce the effects of violence and poverty. We will provide mentoring and jobs for teens. Still Choosing Chicago is seeking donated space, yoga equipment, sports equipment, volunteers, and funding to provide a safe, peaceful, fun, and active 10 week free summer camp for Chicago Youth and Teens.
Our Mission is to provide a safe haven for children in Chicago whose communities are plagued by violence. Our programs are designed to teach youth how to calm down while faced with high levels of stress due to violence.
Still Choosing Chicago currently teaches yoga and mindfulness to 35 children twice a week in CPS after school programming. With your help we can continue to expand our impact in the city of Chicago. Our goal is to provide 150 Chicago youth with a free summer camp. You can be a part of supporting our Summer Camp 2017 with YOGA & MENTORING Programs for ages 4-18 just by donating the cost-of-one-class ($25) or more, as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy of service and compassion.
•For a donation between $25 and $250, with each $25 increment you can sponsor a Yoga & Mindfulness Class in our 2017 Summer Camp.
• For each $5,000 donation, you can provide part time jobs for 5 teens as youth counselors – to expand our capacity and ability to serve and provide jobs for youth looking for responsibility.
• For each $7,500 donation, you can provide transportation and admission for 5 field trips, for all for 150 youth – to provide a safe and fun opportunity for exploration field trips with activities and games for the entire camp.
• For each $10,000 donation, you can provide transportation, admissions, and snacks for all youth activities to Explore Chicago for ten weeks – to expand the minds of youth on Chicago’s History and Culture.
• If you would like to sign up to donate $25 each month, you can sponsor a child for a Yoga & Mindfulness Mentoring program for an entire year!
As a Youth Trauma Yoga Instructor and a Chicagoan, I see Still Choosing Chicago as home for my family, and I would like to provide new ideas and outlets for Chicago's Youth. The most important person in my life as a youth was a volunteer mentor. I would like to provide Yoga, Mindfulness, and mentorship to our youth this summer on a larger scale, in an effort to heal our city, and we hope that you will join Still Choosing Chicago in providing a summer camp to Chicago's youth and teens this year.
