This week I had the chance to meet and talk to a lot of people from different social enterprises in Chicago. And next week will actually be even more exciting as I am putting together this Independent Study Project.
Here are just two of the organizations that I have had the opportunity to learn more about and actually visit this week.
Inspiration Kitchen: this organization is interesting in so many ways, it is a social enterprise under a parent non-profit organization called Inspiration Corporation. What they do is that they provide a cooking training program for people who have been struggling to find a job for different reasons such as having been incarcerated, got kicked out of their home etc.... After my interview with Margaret I actually decided to eat there and try to food and it was delicious. The price was amazing cheap for the food quality that I got and I was very please with the service.

Next Door: this is another social enterprise under a bigger corporation, it is listed under State Farm. Next Door is a free space for anyone to come to work at, it is completely free and provide a cafe where you can order drinks or even a light meal. It has a very relaxed and friendly feel about it and I would recommend checking it out. It's a great space!!
