CYP was founded with the hope of improving the health of youth living in at-risk communities. CYP runs two free health clinics, one at our Washington Park Community Center, the other out of donated space in Lurie Children’s Hospital.
Established by volunteers in 1995, the Washington Park Youth Program (WPYP) is CYP’s largest community program which serves the high-need communities of Washington Park, Englewood, and surrounding areas.
COVID 19 has shifted our world in many ways. Like many other organizations CYP has made adjustments to continue our work in the community. Over the next 3 months we are campaigning to be able to keep the promise we’ve made to our youth. #CYPpromise
Since the end of last year we have been gleefully preparing for the 2020 Hope Gala in anticipation of bringing together those who support our mission at this annual celebration. However, it is clear that our original date of May 7th will need to be postponed. Because the COVID-19 pandemic is a rapidly changing circumstance, we have not yet confirmed the new date. Due to the postponement, Chicago Youth Programs will transfer all sponsorships and ticket purchases and updates will be shared as they become available.
We look forward to celebrating with you.
