We believe in order for our vision to become a reality, we must help these individuals maintain a strong sense of self, meaningful support systems, and community involvement. We aim to do this by hosting an afterschool program & summer camp that provide academic enrichment, social emotional learning, arts & crafts, financial literacy, & community service. With your help, we will create more emotionally prepared, socially equipped & financially knowledgeable youth within Roseland, allowing safer blocks, better businesses, and connected residents to flourish.

Parents of Chicago — try this quick, low-cost activity to teach delayed gratification and strengthen money smarts at home.

Repeat over a week and watch patience—and better choices—grow. Our entrepreneurship curriculum shows this simple practice helps kids make smarter decisions over time. You can start tonight.

We’ve all been there — a meltdown on the way to school or a tense moment after a long day. Try this simple breathing-and-counting routine with your child: inhale together for four, hold for two, exhale for six, then name one thing you both appreciate. Practice it three times and notice the energy shift. At Rooting On Me, Inc., we teach repeatable skills like this in our emotional regulation workshops to help families in Chicago enjoy calmer interactions and stronger connections.
