Enlace Chicago Associate Board
Mission
The Enlace Chicago Associate Board is a group of volunteer young professionals who are dedicated to expanding the reach of Enlace by building awareness of and supporting Enlace’s initiatives. We do this by fundraising and friendraising, or identifying and developing resources through our networks. We value a personal investment in the community and encourage members to commit their time and talent. We seek to strengthen our community by creating a sense of responsibility among young aspiring Little Village leaders.
