Open House Chicago Teen Ambassadors
A program to involve 32 teens from minority and low-income groups in the
study of the architectural history of Chicago’s neighborhoods.
The Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) requests a Humanities Access
Grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities to support a new Open House
Chicago Teen Ambassadors program in 2018 and 2019. In this program, CAF will
work with 32 teens over nine month periods during 2018 and 2019. Participating
teens will: 1) conduct primary source research in Chicago’s neighborhoods; 2)
create audio/visual artifacts that will be shared digitally; and 3) serve as
ambassadors during Open House Chicago, the largest free architectural festival
in the country. This Teen Ambassadors program will enrich the experiences of
festival visitors while also arming teens with new skills in humanities-based
research and interpretation.
