Description

JOIN US FOR THE 11th ANNUAL WOODLAWN COMMUNITY SUMMIT.
MISSION 2020: BUILDING A NEW SOUTHSIDE

The year 2020 marks a new decade and gives us an opportunity to formulate a new outlook in our communities. In Woodlawn, we started thinking about building a new South Side nearly 20 years ago and in 2009 we turned thought into action by establishing the Woodlawn Community Summit.

This year we introduce our theme Mission 2020: Building a New South Side with a continued focus on collaboration between our residents, youth groups, elected leaders, community stakeholders and business owners. You are invited to help us imagine and reinvigorate a new plan for comprehensive growth and the future well-being of Woodlawn and our neighboring Chicago communities.

REGISTER TODAY. SEATING IS LIMITED.


Plenary Session

MISSION 2020: BUILDING A NEW SOUTH SIDE

In this discussion, we will have an honest conversation about what it really takes to build a successful community and drive change from a grassroots level. Attendees will learn from practitioners on how residents and stakeholders can act and gain valuable knowledge from each other.

Workshops

BUILDING, TRANSFORMING AND INVESTING IN SOUTH SIDE NEIGHBORHOODS

The studies are completed, and the planning is done! This session will share insights and policies into the plans for economic development in Woodlawn and its surrounding communities. There will be opportunities for business owners to talk with key leaders and obtain resources including contract opportunities to grow your business.

HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, BUYING PATTERNS AND REHAB OPTIONS

Sponsored by Associated Bank | 743 East 47th Street

Do you want to move into a property that needs cosmetic changes? Would you like to remodel your kitchen, bath or another room in your existing home? Home rehab renovations take know-how and inspiration. Here you’ll find lending information and great advice from industry leaders in the field. Learn everything you need to make your homeownership or renovation project a reality.

*Bus Tour: Tour historic Woodlawn, Washington Park and Bronzeville and learn about available properties offered for sale. The tour is 12:30 to 2:00 pm. (Box lunch included). Registration required.

SAFETY AND SECURITY: BUILDING A SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITY

This session will provide information from a consortium of Woodlawn Safety Stakeholders who provide services and resources along with law enforcement professionals who will provide updates on the Woodlawn community they serve. There will also be a special presentation by the Center for Youth Violence Prevention. This organization works to better understand the nature of youth violence and works with public data to create community profiles so that agencies can determine gaps in services and resources needed to prevent community violence.

SUSTAINABLE SOUTH SIDE: PATH TO 100% EMPLOYMENT

Sponsored by BIG! Blacks in Green

As part of our New Green Economy Expo, Woodlawn youth invite Summit guests to order free ComEd® Home Energy Assessments and introduce them to companies and institutions hiring, teaching, and pioneering the new green economy where neighbors build walkable, self-reliant, mixed-income villages.

YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP: MORE THAN A GOOD JOB

Do you have a GREAT idea for a business? What does it look like and how can you get started? From retail, to information technology, to art this session provides a vast array of resources available to rising talent in any industry. This session is designed for middle school and high school students to hear ideas on Youth Entrepreneurship.
