Background

My main inspiration for this project was Chancelor Bennett’s, Chance the Rapper, work with the non-profit organization Social Works. This organization hosts events across the city of Chicago to raise money to fund arts programs in Chicago Public Schools. This inspired me to:

  • Become more knowledgeable about non-profit organizations
  • Give back to programs that have helped myself and others improve on different skills

provided through WFIT

  • Understand the process of planning events like these all for a good cause
  • Take up responsibilities that required me to stay consistent of my work habits
