Individuals are needed who are willing to contribute financially to help make a difference for generations to come. When you partner with By The Hand, you are helping kids realize their full potential--academically, physically and spiritually. Don't underestimate the impact that your gift can have in the life of a child nor the influence that a transformed life can have throughout a community in need. Your support can make a difference for generations to come.

By The Hand is an afterschool program that emphasizes academics and is committed to nurturing the whole child - mind, body and soul. Our goal is to literally and figuratively take kids by the hand and walk alongside them from the time they enroll in our program until they're adults walking independently. We are strategically located in four of Chicago's most impoverished neighborhoods where underfunded schools abound (Cabrini-Green, Altgeld-Gardens, Austin, and Englewood).
