Happy Friday Community!
For over 20 years, Corazon Community Services has supported the needs of children, youth, and families in the Berwyn and Cicero communities. Through our essential and free services, we have engaged with over 80,000 people in our neighborhoods. In the Town of Cicero alone, we played a major role in reducing the rate of teen pregnancies by 90% through our educational programming and wellness efforts.
This community-driven giving campaign will unite 1,000 hearts in building a stronger organization for our community. Our goal is to raise $120,000 a year through individual contributions of $10 a month. Your collective impact will help upgrade programming to offer more robust and sustainable services.
Some of the direct services we offer to the community are:
Youth Programs:
- Free tutoring & after-school meals
- Sports & recreation events
Health Services
- Youth employment opportunities
- Educational & informational workshops
Safety & Violence Prevention
- Gang tattoo removal services
- Cooking lessons and athletic spaces
Community Building
- Bilingual educational workshops
- Resource referrals
These are just a few of the trajectory changing services we offer. If you would like to assist in making Cicero and Berwyn safer and more equitable for our young people and community members, please consider joining our 1,000 Hearts campaign!
