Overview

Mission

Leverage the transformative power of the arts to enhance social-emotional wellbeing, classroom learning, and academic progress to youth from Chicagos arts impacted communities.

What it reported doing in 2023

ICG Signature Program ICGs Summer 2023 Signature Program offered comprehensive arts-based programming that harnessed STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) and SEL (social emotional learning) and life skill development through dynamic, collaborative hands-on learning experiences. This high school-based program builds on the learning and skills youth have gained through involvement in ICGs community partnership programs. Over the course of the program participants learn the core life skills needed to help prepare them for the job market or higher education. Students will also be involved in personal-development activities and receive mentoring to learn the business principles of finance, marketing, and sales.
