Community Service Opportunity: Onward House

Ms. Fainman and GIVE are taking buses to the Onward House in Chicago to tutor students after school. A little about Onward house:
Onward House's long history dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. Over the years, Onward House has adapted and evolved with every unique generation that has called West Town their home. Yet, our mission to provide critical education, childcare and family support services to those in need has not.

The service experience meets every other thursday.
You can signup through GIVE.

Besides these days, there are other opportunities to volunteer there on your own.

Volunteer Op: Chicago Alderman 46th Ward Phelan Campaign

A friend of mine is running for Chicago Aldermen. The election is approaching fast and so there will be a need for volunteers. The candidate is Molly Phelan. Her website is http://phelan46.com/. If you are interested in the city or in politics, this would be a great opportunity. The 46th ward is a really intereting ward and this election will be hotly contested, though Molly is a front-runner. Let me know if you are interested.
