Civic Energy Workshop

In a bold effort to deepen his understanding of Chicago’s diverse communities, Jahmal Cole, Founder and CEO of My Block My Hood My City, has launched an ambitious initiative to live in all of Chicago’s 77 community areas—spending one month in each—to better engage with residents and address local needs. At the conclusion of each stay, Jahmal will host a workshop and listening opportunity at a local business where he hopes to empower citizens to effectively solve problems and build strong coalitions with their neighbors.

This workshop is for community organizers, activists, block club captains, anyone looking to grow their toolbox for building community.
