On June 3, 2018 Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Alderman Raymond Lopez joined Gads Hill Center and media outlets to announce our new Brighton Park Early Education Center as part of the 2018 state budget. The location will serve more than 120 youths in surrounding neighborhoods, as well as adult education programming.
“I am proud to work alongside Mayor Emanuel to support and expand access to high quality educational opportunities for early learners across the city,” says Maricela Garcia, Chief Executive Officer of Gads Hill Center. “Expanding service in Brighton Park means more children and families will have the support they need to thrive.” Click here to read the City of Chicago's press release on the work Gads Hill Center supporters made possible.

The video below documents the check presentation, and includes words of thanks from Gads Hill Center's Chief Executive Officer, Maricela García. Gads Hill Center thanks The TJX Foundation for supporting our youth programs since 2004. In the past year, TJX and Marshalls volunteers have completely refurbished the space used by teens in our Building Leaders program, providing new furniture and art as well as a fresh coat of paint. Their staff also donated gifts and much needed cold-weather clothing for families during our Holiday Wishes Toy Drive, as well as Easter baskets for youth in Junior Building Leaders, and a shopping trip to Marshalls for youth in last summer's Emotional Intelligence Camp.
We are grateful to The TJX Foundation and Marshalls for their deep and continuing investment in the families we serve. |
