Community Outreach Event at Legal Prep Charter Academy

Come help improve the school and its grounds.

School Overview
Legal Prep is Chicago’s first and only legal-themed high school and serves 340 students from its West Garfield Park location.  Legal Prep’s mission is to provide a high quality high school education in one of Chicago’s most under resourced communities and use its legal-theme curriculum and programs to give the students the skills to be successful in college and life.  Founded in 2012, Legal Prep has consistently been recognized in its seven years of operation as the highest rated open enrollment high school in a two-mile radius.

The Need
Legal Prep has a 115-year-old school building and uses an outdated gym for its physical education classes, athletic events, and school town halls.  Both facilities and their grounds will benefit from the following:
●    Repaint the gym’s indoor walls and stands
●    Install protective posts around their three-lot field adjacent to the gym
●    Provide touch up paint to areas throughout the school building
●    Set up Chromebooks for upcoming school year
●    Organize Library books and shelves

The Volunteer Opportunity
Legal Prep is partnering with ACC Chicago to volunteer on Saturday, August 3, 2019 from 9am to 1pm to work on the above listed items and other similar facility improvement projects.  If you are interested in volunteering for this Day of Service, please register at the link below by July 26, 2019.   

Adult and teenage family members welcomed. All the necessary supplies and lunch will be provided. Street parking is available on Washington Blvd. and Kildare Avenue. Volunteers should plan to meet up at 9:00am at the school entrance on 4319 W. Washington Blvd. to kick off the Day of Service.
