Originally known as CCPA Musicians in Action, Sharing Notes was founded by Allegra Montanari in January of 2012. Now supported by the Chicago College of Performing Arts and local Chicagoans, the program partners charitable musicians with hospitals and organizations that are in need of positive cultural experiences. Currently, Sharing Notes provides live music to the following venues: -Northwestern Memorial's Prentice Women's Hospital, River North Since April of 2012, Sharing Notes has filled Prentice's three oncology floors with live popular, classical, and jazz music in casual solo and chamber music settings. Patients, visitors, and staff can either stop into a common room or enjoy the performances from the comfort of their own rooms as musicians play in the hallways. -La Rabida Children's Hospital, South Side After a successful six months of performing at Prentice, it became clear that music was something very much needed in Chicago hospitals. Consequently, Sharing Notes turned to the bright campus, caring ChildLife staff, and completely new demographic of La Rabida in October of 2012. The patients, who range from infant to teen, have various ailments that include burn injuries, developmental delays, and asthma, but also come with amazing strength and big personalities! At La Rabida, Sharing Notes musicians focus on engaging musical performances and activities, allowing both parties to do what they do best: play! -Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital, River North The newest Sharing Notes partnership brings musicians to perform for lunchtime concerts at the beautiful Crown Sky Garden of the Lurie Children's Hospital. Musicians make soothing, fun and often interactive music for hospital staff, ambulatory patients and visitors in the Garden. As the number of people touched by Sharing Notes increases, the program continues to focus on serving the community by creating unique performance opportunities that bring music off the stage to open both ears and hearts.

By partnering seniors and their caregivers with volunteers from churches and community groups, The Salvation Army Family & Community Services' Two Are Better than One program empowers seniors to live healthy, safe and contributing lives. Whether it is help around the house, occasional work projects, or simply bringing community, isolated and vulnerable seniors are able to stay in their homes longer and more safely. They simply need a little help. It is Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 that provides our guiding philosophy: Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

The People's Music School is the only completely tuition-free music school, and we have delivered access to the benefits of music to thousands of children for almost 40 years. Our founder Rita Simo, a Julliard-trained pianist from the Dominican Republic, believes that all children should have access to music education, regardless of their family's socioeconomic status. With just $625, a donated piano and a few students, she started The People's Music School in 1976. From these small beginnings we've grown to serve over 350 students every year through intensive instruction and performance. Our objective is not just to teach music, but to teach our students how to think, how to problem solve, how to collaborate, how to achieve excellence THROUGH music. They grow socially, emotionally and intellectually, and develop a foundation of responsibility, self-esteem and purpose. We believe music is transformative and empowers the lives of youth, families and communities. Our students come from 35 different zip codes in the city, from Rogers Park to Bronzeville to West Lawn. Come see what we are about!

ICA promotes a just and sustainable world through empowering cultural dimensions of the social process. Its programs focus on systemic change and social transformation through the development of resilient communities, organizations, and individuals. ICA began in the 1960s during a time defined in the US by civil rights -- and white flight to the suburbs -- when it demonstrated racial diversity in a high profile community renewal project on the West Side of Chicago. In 1976, it conducted over 5,000 town meetings, with at least one being held in every county of the country, which enabled diverse populations to reach consensus on priority community projects. In the early 1980s, it pioneered a radical new approach to bottom-up village development in third world nations that is now at the core of mainstream best practices. All of ICA’s programs are based on indicative processes of experiential learning and facilitation that enable people to affirm the significance of their situation and to build responsible plans of action. Today, a large national network of social entrepreneurs are involved in ICA programs. More than a hundred licensed trainers deliver ICA curriculum known as “Technologies of Participation,” ToP ®. Over 30,000 people have participated in these courses since 1992; the total number of graduates in 2011 was over two thousand. ICA, with its sister organization, the Ecumenical Institute, also owns an 8-story building at 4750 N. Sheridan Road in Chicago. This was a gift from the Kemper Insurance Company in 1972. With an emphasis on homeless, low-income, and immigrant communities, this is the largest non-profit service center in the Midwest and second largest in the entire country. All ICA programming in the United States is coordinated from the office in Chicago. It has a staff of fifteen. Its operating budget approaches $2,500,000 (two and a half million dollars) annually. It is an affiliate member of ICA-International along with other independent national ICA organizations in 30+ countries. In this global setting, it is known as ICA-USA.

Sarah’s Circle is a refuge for women who are homeless or in need of a safe space. By providing housing assistance, case management, referral services, and life necessities, we encourage women to empower themselves by rebuilding both emotionally and physically; realizing their unique potential.

ICA GreenRise it is the largest non-profit service center in the Midwest and is quite unique. The 8-floor, 166,000 square foot building is home to 25 different non-profits and social service providers serving over 1,000 clients per week. Tenants include medical and dental clinics for homeless and low-income persons, a drop-in center for troubled women, support activities for new immigrants, job placement, training services, start-up enterprise incubator non-profits, and EI/ICA programming. It is also the home of an intentional residential community. ICA is creating a "green culture” among its diverse tenants while also providing tenants and their clients an opportunity to engage in creating a living eco-system within the building and establishing an energy efficient eco-system that aims to make the entire building energy independent. The building is emblematic of ICA-USA's commitment to community and human development.
