As a newcomer to Chicago, I figured the best way to familiarize myself with my neighborhood was through community involvement.
We want to provide opportunities for students to take advantage of their time in one of the world’s greatest cities.
We are trained not only to break down group dynamics and utilize the strengths of each group member, but also how to approach service with humility and respect.
I like WYSE because I get to express myself and have fun.
I feel strongly that I have learned more in the past four years from my involvement in the community than I have inside the classroom.
