Chicago - Why Chicago?
- Similar to New York and Boston, Chicago has many inner-cities that are often overlooked. Consequently, it has a large number of school districts that can only offer so much, creating a need for the services that Minds Matter offers.
- Chicago is a magnet for young professionals in the Midwest in the same way that New York is on the East Coast. As a result, there are large groups of young professionals living in the city that serve as an ideal pool for potential mentors and volunteers.
- Chicago and surrounding areas have a large number of colleges that will provide a strong variety of summer programs to target.
- Chicago is centrally located so it will be easier for students to commute to east coast or west coast programs if they so desire.
