Association House of Chicago

Our Clean Energy construction trainees soaked up the sun with Nautilus Solar Energy last week 😎☀️

We got a hands-on experience at a massive solar farm just an hour out of the city in Manteno, learning about installation, clean power generation, and what a career in green energy really looks like. 🌳 We walked through a field of thousands of solar panels, enough to provide power to over 1,000 homes in our state!

Thanks for having us! We can't wait to see some of our students at the House caring for a special place like this in the future 🧡 Such a cool opportunity from IL CleanJobs.

Another batch of Senior Planet grads are leaving the House with new tech skills under their belts! 💙 We loved getting to know this group and boosting their computer confidence over the last few weeks.

No one deserves to be left behind when technology changes at such a rapid pace-- and we're proud of our Senior Planet grads for taking the initiative to stay connected in their world! 💻🖱️

Who made the greatest plate?! 🤔🍽️ It's presentation week for our Culinary Careers Training students, so we held a competition to see who could make the most beautiful dish of all.

Who do you think takes the crown? 🧑‍🍳😋

🎉 Only TWO WEEKS until Faces of Hope 2026! 🎉

We had so much fun at the JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge, and are SO honored to have been named the 2026 beneficiary this year in Chicago! 🏃‍♂️🏁

Through this partnership, Association House received a $60,000 general operations grant to further our mission. Over 13,000 runners from over 400 companies came together for a race through Grant Park and an awesome afterparty in the spirit of giving back to the city they all call home.

We're SO honored to be part of such an inspiring tradition, and pledge to continue opening paths for Chicagoans in need. 💪

When you meet Sheri, her confidence stands out right away 💫 She’s funny, ambitious, outspoken, and determined to make something big of her future.

But behind that confidence is a journey shaped by grief, instability, and the challenges of navigating foster care as a young woman.

At Association House High School, Sheri found the support, mentorship, and encouragement she needed to believe in herself again ❤️ Through it all, she rediscovered her love of learning — and now, she’s preparing to graduate at the top of AHHS’s 2026 class 🎓

Sheri is proof that young people thrive when they’re given support, opportunity, and people who believe in them.
