sWERVIN' tHROUGH STRESS with G Herbo
We partnered with the legendary Chicago rapper G Herbo to provide 150 youth and young adults the opportunity for free access to couseling services.
SWISH LEAGUE
One of our biggest initiatives at Project sWish Chicago, is the implementation of a free basketball league in various neighborhoods throughout the city during the times that statistically prove to have a higher infiltration of violence. The goal is to provide a safe, supportive and engaging environment. Participants will be able to play ball in an open gym format in addition to enjoying some free food and music.
