The youth that My Block My Hood My City serves only live a few miles away from downtown Chicago, yet many of them express that they have never been there. On July 8th, My Block My Hood My City will host a citywide event where we aim to bring 1,000 youth ages 13-22 to explore downtown. Youth will receive $50 exploration cards to purchase some good food, cultural items and activities such as going to the movie theaters, a cultural concert and so much more as they travel around downtown. By 2025, we don’t want youth to be able to say “I’ve never been downtown.” Together, we can eliminate that phrase. We would love for your company to be a part of this monumental day of being a host destination or sponsoring the day.

It took courage to wear my hoodie at the @cityclubchicago I didn’t want to be uncouth, but I’m tired of code switching. I gave up on that and I’m just being me. Flawed me and all. I have plenty of suits. Coming up I stayed in a suit for church. I stopped wearing the suits and ties when I started volunteering at Cook County jail. The energy was different when I wore a hoodie then when I wore a suit. Maybe I was more comfortable. People started listening more and felt more connected. Whatever the case may be, I wore my hoodie to the City Club. This hoodie has taken a lot of students around the world. I’m proud of myself for having courage. Thank you to my team, board, volunteers and everyone who supports. #citylife #living #hope #publicspeaking #life #jahmalcole #hoodie #codeswitching

To celebrate our 30th anniversary, @printablepromotions pledged a portion of our April sales to My Block, My Hood, My City. The youth that MBMHMC serves only live a few miles away from downtown Chicago, yet many of them express that they have never been there. On July 8th, their Downtown Day event will bring 1,000 youth ages 13-22 to explore downtown. All will receive $50 exploration cards to purchase some good food, cultural items and activities such as going to the movie theaters, a cultural concert and so much more as they travel around downtown. We’re really excited that our donation is enough to sponsor 70 young people on this day! #chicago #chicagononprofit #donate #localnonprofit #giveback #givebacktothecommunity

I’m excited to be speaking at the @cityclubchicago this Wednesday. The City Club is like the Apollo Theater for public speaking. It’s a place in the city that advances open discussions about policy, civic engagement, non profits, emerging businesses and more. This is a milestone moment for me. I always wanted to speak here. Grab your tickets today. I’ve got some new ideas and new initiatives I will be speaking about. Peace y’all. Thank you for the support.
