Pitch In

The Pitch In program actively partners with four Chicago Public elementary schools in the North Lawndale and Humboldt Park neighborhoods to deliver an in-school and after-school, social emotional learning program grounded in: building trusting, long-term, collaborative relationships with 4th-9th students, their families, school leaders, teachers, and school counselors; offering enrichment opportunities inside and outside the Pitch In classroom to help students develop their diverse worldviews; and paving the way for a smooth transition to high school by supporting students' knowledge, skills, mindsets, and agency. Our organization aims to scale across multiple neighborhoods to serve middle school students on the south and west sides of Chicago.
