The mission of Chicago 2020 Vision for Schools is to transform public schools in Chicago within one generation by training, empowering and supporting local churches as they adopt schools in their neighborhood and build communities of support around those schools.
There are roughly 7,000 churches in the city of Chicago and nearly 700 schools; that’s about 1 school to every 10 churches. Imagine if 10 churches would partner with their local school and assist the present administration to create the best environment possible for the students. Imagine if believers would volunteer a few hours a week to read to a kid, coach a basketball team, paint walls, assist in ACT prep, etc. Imagine if the Church would have the impact on the world that God intends. The kindergarten class of 2009 will be the senior class 2020. Imagine if the church could radically transform our schools in one generation.
