COMMUNITY
Little Free Libraries
Little Free Library Program is a non-profit founded in 2012. Mirroring this awesome effort, our 18th Ward volunteers set out to help the cause. There are several Little Free Libraries set up throughout the 18th Ward that are monitored by our volunteers along with the Recreation Commission.

Community Gardens
The “Cultivating Community Garden in the Oakbrook Neighborhood” seeks to empower people to grow their own food, improving food security for individuals and families in need. We want to be able to provide this community the opportunity for positive social interaction and recreation in a beautiful, non-threatening atmosphere where individuals of all ages and backgrounds may interact in a healthy pursuit.
Beautification
"The Green Team is a promising model for youth involvement creating a healthy community. The Green Team fosters pride in the Community for the students involved, and provides hands on training and education regarding recycling and waste."
