Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The Chicago Learning Exchange (CLX) is a nonprofit organization that connects and supports our city's array of out-of-school time youth-focused organizations in order to prepare youth, youth workers, and our city for the future.

  • Pathways: Youth learning and work pathways are routes that build connected and progressive experiences, skills, and relationships a young person has from childhood to adulthood. The Organization works to address systems-level inequities in in-school and out-of-school (OST) pathways experiences for youth in Chicago by building programs and convening OST organizations in STEM-related fields to address other barriers in fields such as energy and computer science.

    Expenses $129,407 · Grants $23,000 · Revenue $1,200

  • Community: The Organization convenes and supports a year-around community of primarily out-of-school time mentors and leaders to re-imagine and expand out-of-school time opportunities. The organization does this through monthly Meetups, which are onramps for OST practitioners to break down information silos; help organizations and educators build capacity through sharing in knowledge and growing social capital; Communities of Practice, which are longer in time and design in order to create and share knowledge about specific issues or topics (e.g. Youth Mentorship, Anti-Racism work).

    Expenses $93,177 · Grants $5,000

  • Chicago Learning Days: The Organization leads a week-long citywide learning festival to amplify the work of our year-around Community by turning Chicago into an open and dynamic learning laboratory with more than 100 hands-on learning opportunities in schools, museums, libraries, parks, and community centers across Chicago. The purpose of the festival is to increase equity by raising awareness of in-school and out-of-school time opportunities for youth and families who are furthest from opportunity by offering free and fun opportunities to connect and try out learning and work opportunities across an area of disciplines (i.e. youth media, civics, art, maker, STEM, CS, and more).

    Expenses $91,100 · Grants $5,000

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
