Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce

Call Directions Website

Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce www.ravenswoodchicago.org Originally founded to fight problems of crime and blight, RCC was one of the first urban conservation commissions in Chicago.

While just established in 2015, the Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce is tied to a 57-year history of fostering a vibrant, locally-focused economy in Ravenswood. Built on the foundation of the Ravenswood Community Council’s work within the area’s commercial corridors, the GRCC is guided by the belief that creativity, sustainable living and diverse industry position Ravenswood as a destination neighborhood. Today our services have changed and expanded to meet the needs of our ever-evolving neighborhood, including becoming the designated Chamber of Commerce for the Ravenswood community in 2015. The proud presenter events such as Ravenswood ArtWalk, Taste of Ravenswood, and Ravenswood On Tap, our organization is always looking for exciting and unique ways to engage our local businesses, residents and visitors.

Manufacturing careers are built on more than technical skills. They’re built on community, too. 🔧

We're continuing to celebrate Manufacturing Month, and today we’re highlighting JARC Training (Jane Addams Resource Corporation), a nonprofit helping people build brighter futures through no-cost manufacturing and skilled trades training for 40+ years.

From welding and CNC training to career coaching, tutoring, and financial support, JARC gives trainees the tools and resources they need to succeed long after graduation. And as Director of Training Services Mari Zapata puts it, "you may walk through the door alone, but you’ll leave with a community supporting you throughout your career."
