BUILDING THE FUTUREAfter School Matters is building a bright
future for Chicago and its neighborhoods
by supporting our teens—those currently in
our programs, and those we hope to reach in
the future. Through transformative program
opportunities in the arts, communications
and leadership, STEM, and sports, Chicago’s
next generation of leaders is creating solid
foundations for their own futures.
This past year, we engaged more than 18,000
teens across Chicago through our nationally-
recognized programs that help them gain
critical skills for college, careers, and beyond.
Every day in our programs, teens are striving
to not only achieve success for themselves
but also strengthen their communities.
These teens are Chicago’s future leaders—
entrepreneurs, changemakers, artists, activists,
chefs, engineers, coaches, and more. With
the support of After School Matters’ devoted
community, we will realize our vision of
building a stronger Chicago. Because when
we invest in our teens, they reinvest in their
communities.
TOGETHER, WE ARE BUILDING THE FUTURE OF CHICAGO...TODAY.

Officials Break Ground on New Teen-Centric Facility at Gately Park
In August 2018, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago
Park District General Superintendent Michael Kelly
joined After School Matters, Exelon Corporation, local
and state officials and community members to break
ground on the Gately Indoor Track & Field, located at
744 E 103rd Street.
BUILDING THE FUTURE
Housed within this new, world-class athletic acility built by the Chicago Park District will be After School Matters’
state-of-the-art 24,000-square-foot space, exclusively dedicated to Chicago teens and After School Matters
programming.
This is new building represents our third dedicated neighborhood space for Chicago teens, building on the positive
impact we’ve seen Gallery37 downtown and the Lutz Center in Belmont Cragin have with our teens. This project is
crucial to After School Matters’ longer-term growth strategy of replicating our model of dedicated teen programming
spaces, particularly in underserved communities, to continue to build the future of Chicago through supporting our
city’s teens. It’s expected to open for programming in 2021.
“Chicago’s young people need and deserve the best
opportunities to help them explore their passions
and find their futures. Thanks to the leadership of
our entire community of supporters and partners—
especially the Chicago Park District, the Mayor’s
Office, and our Board Chair Mellody Hobson—After
School Matters will now have a dedicated space on
the South Side of Chicago intentionally designed for
teenagers to learn, grow, and discover their potential
in a safe and supportive environment.”
— Mary Ellen Caron, Chief Executive Officer of After School Matters
Chicago Bulls’ Zach LaVine and TheRoomPlace Surprise After School Matters Family with Home Makeover
The Chicago Bulls, Zach LaVine, and TheRoomPlace teamed up in December with
After School Matters teen Marquis Johnson to surprise his grandmother with new
furniture for every room in her home, and a Christmas tree with presents for the
family. Featured on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” LaVine and the Bulls, long-
time After School Matters supporters of After School Matters, coordinated with
teen Marquis Johnson to bring holiday joy to his grandmother and their family.
LaVine and Johnson shopped for furniture and gifts, wrapped presents, set up
the house and then brought in his grandmother for the grand reveal, making it
an unforgettable Christmas.
Lisa W. Wardell, President and CEO of Adtalem Global Education, Donates $1 Million to Chicago’s Teens
The highlight of After School Matters Annual Gala on September 24, 2018 was a generous
donation by Lisa W. Wardell, President and CEO of Adtalem Global Education. Wardell
donated $1 million to After School Matters toward the construction of our new facility
at Gately Park on Chicago’s South Side. Lisa made the announcement alongside After
School Matters Board Chair Mellody Hobson.
Wardell is the sole African American woman leader of a FORTUNE 1000 company. She
believes supporting programs like After School Matters will make a difference for our
youth and the future business world.
I was just like the kids in After School Matters and know
the life-changing value that one area of focus, one person
or group can make. We owe it to all teenagers to provide
opportunities that give them confidence and an ability to
envision where their lives may go,” said Wardell.
