Overview

Mission

The core purpose of the Hyde Park Refugee Project HPRP is to assist refugee families and other immigrants that are seeking to rebuild their lives in our community on the South Side of Chicago.

What it reported doing in 2024

Summer Day Camp - HPRP offers a free summer day camp for children from refugee families and other immigrant families in our community. The camp is distinctive in offering relationship-based programming to address language gaps and cultural isolation. It is designed to enhance their sense of belonging in their new community, as well as to help them sustain educational progress made during the school year. In 2024, HPRP held a 4-week summer camp for English language learners. More than 60 children (ages 5-12) participated. Activities included art lessons, music & dance, sports & games, science experiments, reading groups, math tutoring, and educational field trips.
