About the event
Community STARS participants will visit the Chicago Cultural Center and Millennium Park to explore how public spaces, art, and accessible resources contribute to vibrant and inclusive communities. Through guided observation and reflection, youth will examine how these environments foster creativity, connection, and opportunity. This experience encourages participants to think beyond what exists and begin imagining how similar spaces, access, and energy can be created within their own neighborhoods through their community impact projects.
