¡Si se puede! Yes we can! Over the last several months, our CSPL Safety and Violence Prevention Committee has been working with our partners to start a Smart Routes to School program in Maywood and Proviso Township in order to ensure that children in the area can walk safely to and from school on a daily basis.  After months of strategizing, organizing petitions and support, meeting with our local officials and showing up to local town meetings, we have great news to share! Last week the governing bodies of Proviso Township, School District 89 and the Village of Maywood each voted to approve funding to support the start of the Smart Routes to School Pilot Program. This program will start at the beginning of this upcoming school year in August 2019!

    The Community Wellness Hub is advancing racial equity by creating opportunities through the first community-owned and operated space to incubate, develop and support social enterprises and small businesses for talented African American and Latinx Maywood residents. A collaboration of community partners and residents, the Wellness Hub will create a pathway for sustainable, systems change by supporting individuals’ career mobility, resident leadership, and seeding entrepreneurial opportunities. The Hub’s businesses, programs, services, and arts activities will be grounded in PP4H’s deep commitment to shared power where residents are integral leaders in co-designing and building an inclusive thriving economy.
    • The Wellness Hub is currently in a predevelopment phase and continues to engage residents in a co-design process for creative placemaking in Maywood.
    • This new community anchor will provide cooperative learning opportunities and entrepreneurial spaces, such as a shared kitchen, pop-up businesses, and exhibit space.
