REFINED Mission

Chicago Learning Exchange:

CLX is a network on a mission to mobilize Chicago so that youth brilliance is nurtured now and in the future.

Over

Our Working Theory of Change...

If we……

CONVENE and SUPPORT learners and leaders and systems to re-imagine and design out-of-school time opportunities,

AMPLIFY and ADVOCATE for liberating, relevant, experiential learning and work opportunities for both youth and educators, and

INVEST in experiential learning across contexts for and with youth.

Then…..

Chicago learners will have expanded opportunities to flourish in an increasingly complex world.
