Overview
Launched in 2021 and led by former CPS CEO Dr. Janice Jackson, Hope Chicago is pioneering a new two-generational approach to building equity and breaking the cycle of poverty in Chicago’s underserved neighborhoods on the South, Southwest and West Sides. Our work focuses on removing the financial and systemic barriers that limit access and completion of higher education for first-generation college students and their parents.
