HOPES’S Corps Members serving at The Greater Chicago Food Depository for MLK Jr. Day At Chicago HOPES for Kids, we are thrilled to welcome seven new AmeriCorps members to our team! With their arrival, we now have a dedicated group of 22 members ready to support our Spring 2025 program—bringing energy, passion, and commitment to the students we serve.
Our AmeriCorps members play an essential role in providing academic support, mentorship, and enrichment opportunities for children facing housing insecurity. Each member brings a unique perspective and a shared dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. For Daysia Mackey, being a volunteer means “the opportunity to engage and be a part of kids’ positive learning experiences.” This reflects the heart of our mission—creating safe, supportive spaces where students feel empowered to grow, learn, and succeed. When asked what piqued their interest in HOPES, Londan Booth shared, “The ability to engage with children in a setting that offers personalized, individual support and make an impact that is truly meaningful.” Meanwhile, Citlalli Pineda expressed that to her, being a volunteer means “dedicating myself to the students and my team ensuring that they feel seen, heard, and appreciated” as well as “giving time of my day to serve individuals that are in need of food, clothing, and other necessities.” As we embark on another impactful semester, we celebrate the hard work and dedication of all our 2025 Corps members. Their service embodies the AmeriCorps spirit of giving back, and we can’t wait to see all they accomplish this year! Welcome to the team, 2025 Corps members!
