South Side Community Assessment

The Y is working to deepen our impact and strengthen our presence in the South Side, and we knew it was vital that we take time to learn from the experiences of those working and living in the area. We created a space to build meaningful partnerships and translate conversations into impactful actions. With these goals in mind, we led a community assessment of five community areas on the South Side of Chicago from September 2023 to April 2024: Hyde Park, Kenwood, South Shore, Washington Park, and Woodlawn.
