Chicago Holiday Party a Success
On December 3, the Chicago Chapter hosted their 2nd Annual Holiday Party at Easy Bar. The chapter was able to donate over $2,000 to their recipient, Humane Education Advocates Reachign Teachers (HEART) and their programs in the Chicago Community.
HEART"s mission is to "create better students, compassionate citizens and contributors to the greater community." HEART Educators, Christine and Bob have been providing free in class and after school programs for students at 17 Chicago schools. They engage students in learning through service projects such as raising money for local animal shelters, volunteering at homeless shelters, acting as student mentors to peers to show conflict resolution/positive lifestyle choices, encourging literacy development, creating recycling programs for the school, developing plans to help encourage more peers to graduate, planting trees in the community, and hosting neighborhood clean-ups.
The Chicago Chapter of HEART started less than 2 years ago and already there is a waitlist of schools requesting HEART's free programs. With Betterment's help, they were able to hire an additional educator to meet this growing need. More students will have the opportunity to participate in meaningful projects that contribute to the well-being of their neighborhoods while learning the importance of being active and engaged citizens.
