At Westlawn Youth Network (WYN) this school year has been filled with fun and encouraging times.
WYN originally started out working specifically with High Schoolers and eventually expanded to elementary school children. We were encouraged that this year was the 28th year of Club Champ, which is our elementary after-school program. It was very fun that this year Club ended with our 1st annual Lock-In & City camping experience!
Another event WYN hosted this school year was a Youth Conference. Youth from our Chicago neighborhoods of North Lawndale, West Garfield, Woodlawn and Englewood gathered together to bridge gaps between our neighborhoods.
During the conference youth attended a weekend of social debates, workshops & team building activities while enjoying a community living environment where we all worked together to prepare meals. It was such an encouragement seeing the Youth working together.
