Things You Should Know About LaTanya & The Youth of Englewood
History of the Organization
On June 29, 2017 LTYOE officially became a 501(c) (3) tax exempt organization. The organization has been established to work with youth ages 5-13 to provide after school activities including education, recreation communication skill building, social opportunities, advocacy and support. Most importantly this program provides strong relationships with capable, caring, and positive adults- a key component of helping children succeed in a dangerous and violent environment like the Englewood neighborhood in Chicago.
New Partnerships on the Horizon
On March 3, 2018, LaTanya & The Youth Of Englewood will be officially opening its recreational center at 6020 South Halsted Ave in Chicago, Illinois. LTYOE is an after-school program offering free service to under-served youth in Englewood. Founder, LaTanya Johnson, established her organization on June 19, 2013. Originally housed in Ogden Park field house, LTYOE has partnered with No Adults Left Behind founder, Andre Ellis to provide a permanent home in Englewood.
New Hope Brings New Needs
LaTanya & The Youth of Englewood is in desperate need of furniture and supplies to help sustain its new program. We are asking businesses, organizations and individuals to donate new and used items to help fill our 3 classrooms and 1 office. Donations are being accepted starting February 1, 2018 at its new location, 6020 South Halsted between the hours of 10AM- 3PM.
