The City on Monday announced the “Rediscover Summer” campaign from My CHI. My Future., designed to showcase the array of opportunities for youth this summer. Last year, the Mayor and First Lady Amy Eshleman launched “My CHI. My Future.” (MCMF), a multi-year, youth-focused initiative designed to connect youth across Chicago to meaningful out-of-school experiences. MCMF works with more than 200 organizations and is focused on organizing and connecting the opportunity ecosystem in Chicago and galvanizing caring adults all over the city to ensure that every young person has a plan for the summer.  Sunday, May 23rd, marks the first anniversary of the launch of MCMF and the City’s commitment to ensuring that every young person connects to experiences that allow them to explore their interests and connect to passions and possibilities.  The city and its partners have come together to provide over 200,000 opportunities for children and youth this summer including One Summer Chicago, Parks Summer Camp, and the GreenCorps Youth Program.  Moreover, young people and their families can find opportunities through the revamped MCMF website, MyCHIMyFuture.org, which includes an interactive map to help young people and their families find opportunities, summer programs and events in their community.
