Chicago Cares

Chicago Cares mobilizes volunteers to build a stronger, more unified Chicago.

We know that young people don't just want to talk about change; they want to be the change, and they want to start today. Our Youth in Service programs introduce volunteering to groups of youth between the ages of 8-18. There are select projects where children over the age of eight may participate. Any youth over the age of 16 are welcome to create their own account in our volunteer community.

Join Chicago Cares in volunteering to build a stronger, more unified Chicago. We believe volunteering should be the start of a journey, and we want to help you on yours. Our programs are intentionally designed to help you build the tools and skills to champion your cause, so that you can take deeper action on the issues you care about.
