Let's build real trust in Woodlawn & Waukegan. 🧡

If you live in the Greater Woodlawn or Greater Waukegan area and are 16 or older, we invite you to join the next phase of the Ambassadors of Trust Initiative, a community-driven effort led by YWCA Metropolitan Chicago in partnership with BECOME.

Over the past several months, community members have shared their experiences, concerns, and hopes through one-on-one conversations. Now, we're bringing residents together to turn those insights into action.

Join a series of interactive virtual workshops designed to:
✨ Strengthen community connections
✨ Build trust among neighbors
✨ Explore innovative ways residents can support one another
✨ Develop community-driven solutions that foster belonging and resilience

Participants who complete the workshop series will receive a gift card as a thank-you for their time and contributions.
