Chicagoland Corporations can help Chicago Youth Centers in many ways by….

• Participating in a “Day of Caring” Event such as when the Deloitte Global Company came to ABC/Polk Bros. Youth Center to help the youth with a project.  This year, Deloitte employees helped our school age youth create an exploding volcano as a science experiment!
• By hosting a Donation Drive like the Chicago Association of Realtors did for the CYC-Rebecca Crown Youth Center.  In late August, Chicago Association of Realtors’ Employees hosted a school supply drive and then came to the CYC-Rebecca Crown Youth Center to deliver the supplies. 
• By sponsoring an interactive Staff Development activity that benefits CYC Youth like Astellas Pharma Co. did in December for their holiday party.  Astellas’ employees gathered at a Chicagoland hotel to assemble bikes for 50 CYC Youth.
• By designating your United Way dollars to Chicago Youth Centers like Charter One Bank did this year.  Employees of Charter One Bank heard about CYC’s Mentoring Children of Prisoners Program and decided that this was a great cause to donate their monthly United Way funds. 
• By having a CYC employee come out and talk about volunteering opportunities across the agency so that employees can get more involved in the great work that CYC does!
