Community Conversations: South Side YMCA and Nichols Park Advisory Council

Join us for the debut of our Community Conversations panel series! Our theme for this quarter is Meet Your Neighbors: a series of conversations with people who live and work on the South Side and partner with students to engage with the community. Join us for an informal panel discussion with local community leaders. Our event this week features Jarquetta Egeston, Executive Director of the South Side YMCA, and Van Bistrow from the Nichols Park Advisory Council, and will focus on the role of third spaces in community development and the work that these organizations do to build those spaces on the South Side. 

About Community Conversations:
The University Community Service Center (UCSC) is pleased to present Community Conversations, a series of conversations between community partners and students about Chicago, civic engagement, and social change. Each quarter, UCSC will select a distinct social challenge and invite those leading efforts to address that challenge in our communities through various sectors to join UChicago student leaders in panel-style discussions.
