Village Leadership Academy

Located in Chicago’s South Loop, Village Leadership Academy offers unique experiential learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom walls. Two of these programs, Grassroots Campaigns (GRC) and the World Scholars Program (WSP) expose students to community advocacy and world cultures respectively.

This grant of $366,600 will allow Village Leadership Academy to cover the full cost of tuition as well as before and after care for 47 students on their waiting list who have wanted to enroll but didn’t think they could afford to do so.
