Pay What You Can
We strive to keep our activities as affordable as possible and honor a "pay what you can" rate for those who find the suggested fee to be a financial barrier to participation. To take advantage of the "pay what you can" offer, please register in advance and select to pay later during checkout. Then pay what you can at the door.
 
Where in the World:
CHPV works every day to build a welcoming and inclusive community for all members and friends. Look for three large maps (the addition of a Chicago Neighborhoods map) where we encourage you to place colored pins marking where in the world you have lived. You will also have a chance to answer a few simple questions on paper so we all can learn more about the many different journeys that brought together our CHPV community. Our thanks to Dorothy Strang and CHPV's DEIA Team for their efforts on this initiative.

IN THE COMMUNITY
Hyde Park Refugee Project Chicago
The Hyde Park Refugee Project is partnering with World Relief to resettle 20-30 families in Hyde Park and Bronzeville in the month of January because it is likely that most if not all refugee resettlements will cease during the Trump administration.
Please click here if you would like to donate household items or find out more information about how to get involved. There are 3 drop off locations in the neighborhood. Any older adult who would like to donate household items but who faces a barrier to dropping off the items, can email info@hprpchicago.org to arrange a pickup from your home.
