YRC Region 5 Community Council

Welcome To Our Blog ! The Youth Ready Chicago Community Council Region 5 is a three-year initiative that engages community members, youth-serving organizations, and the City Department of Family and Support Services in developing a coordinated regional and citywide network of programs, services, and resources available to youth during out of school time throughout Chicago. SWYC is the lead coordinating organization for Region 5. Boundaries for Region 5 include: Harlem Avenue to the west, Lake Michigan to the east, 83rd Street to the south, and 55th Street to the north. Through monthly meetings, subcommittees and task forces, organizations throughout this region can provide support and network with one another. Meetings are held the last Thursday of every month and various organizations are in attendance in Region 5. Check our blog daily for information on events and services throughout region and the city.
