About us

For 130 years, Chicago Commons’ mission has been to partner with individuals, families, and communities to overcome poverty, discrimination, and isolation. Chicago Commons enables families to break the cycle of poverty by providing early education, strengthening parents and caring for the elderly, while also advocating for their equal chance at success. From our first settlement house, we’ve centered ourselves in underserved communities to give our neighbors the tools and skills they need to reach their greatest potential.

    In 2022, Chicago Commons hosted its first annual Entrepreneurship Fair, now renamed the Chicago Commons Market. The Chicago Commons Market, hosted by the Family Hub program, showcases the power of collaboration and community. This annual event brings together a diverse group of parent vendors, highlighting their talents and entrepreneurial spirit. Our participants enroll in a Small Business Development series prior to the Market, preparing our vendors with the skills and tips necessary for their success. Join us on Saturday, July 27th, for the third annual Chicago Commons Market event, where you can shop for unique products made by our Chicago Commons families, who are small business vendors, all while enjoying great music and delicious food. By supporting these businesses, you will help our community thrive, and we’ll provide you with a comprehensive vendor directory to explore even more!

    🎉 We had the most perfect weather for the Paulo Freire Center's end-of-year celebration! Our families and kids enjoyed food, music, painting, temporary tattoos, a bouncy house, and community resources shared by our very own Family Hub. This was also a final hurrah for our preschoolers to hang out with friends and family one last time before starting kindergarten in the fall. - - - A big thanks to all the staff at Paulo Freire Center for your hard work, dedication, and for putting together such a wonderful celebration for our families. 🎨 #ChicagoCommons #ThrivingAcrossGenerations #EarlyEducation #CommunityCelebration #BackoftheYardsEvents https://lnkd.in/gfwUgcAB
