La Villita Community Church
La Villita Community Church will expand our Arco Iris Summer Camp to allow the youth Camp Leaders (ages 14-21) to gain community leadership, outreach, and engagement experience. Specifically, the Camp Leaders will plan and host Arco Iris Pop Up on the Block events on their own blocks for their neighbors in Little Village and North Lawndale. The pop up events will take place two evenings per week for three weeks between June 6th and June 26th. There will be a total of six youth-led Arco Iris Pop Up on the Block events, with each one lasting three hours and engaging 100 children and families, for a total of 600 people being engaged in positive summer programming on their own block. The Arco Iris Pop Up on the Block gives youth additional leadership experience, allows them to showcase their leadership talents on their block among their neighbors, and creates community engagement between youth leaders and families. Arco Iris Pop Up on the Block also allows us to concentrate our Arco Iris activities in outdoor spaces in the neighborhood during June. This activity will supplement the Arco Iris pre-camp leadership development programming two days per week which has already been supported by the Chicago Fund.
