The Love Your School Collective is a community initiative that partners churches, organizations, and schools to provide holistic support for students and families.

Mission

The LYS Collective provides wrap-around support services to Chicago-land students, ensuring they remain in school and excel academically despite challenging circumstances.

Vision

When students participate in our programs, we expect them to have no failing grades. For partner schools, we expect that their “school culture” rating will improve while in partnership with our collective.

From Amy Governale of North Park University:

“The Friendraiser was a great opportunity to see how Together Chicago’s Education initiatives build villages of care around schools. The organization of the event around transformative programs, comprehensive wrap around services, and big, public wins, solidified the work and progress Together Chicago is accomplishing. I made a lot of great connections with groups who are just as committed to supporting the holistic well-being of Chicago’s students. I’m so proud to be involved with Together Chicago and look forward to our continued work.”
