Chicago Commons is a community-focused organization dedicated to empowering individuals, families, and communities in overcoming poverty and systemic barriers to embrace opportunities and thrive across generations. Since its inception in 1894, Chicago Commons has been deeply rooted in underserved communities, providing essential tools and skills to help residents reach their fullest potential. Their programs, which have evolved from their first settlement house, include early education, senior services, and a family hub, all aimed at helping children, families, and seniors lead richer, more fulfilling lives.
