About

Teamwork Englewood is focused on bettering the lives of members of Chicago's Englewood neighborhood. They have developed the Englewood Quality of Life Plan. Englewood is one of Chicago's most prominent South Side neighborhoods, and its rich history, culture, and assets are what has helped the neighborhood continue to flourish over time. The Englewood Quality of Life Plan is working to push that growth even further to ultimately create better lives for the people within that community.

Teamwork Englewood has numerous other programs that are working to improve the quality of life in Englewood. One of these programs is Re-Entry which helps those who were recently incarcerated reintegrate into society. They also have the Englewood Women's Initiative (EWI) which increases economic security for women living in Englewood. They also offer numerous youth programs as well. Teamwork Englewood is dedicated to investing into their community and building upon the aspects that make their community great so they can improve the quality of life for the neighborhood as a whole.
