Did you know that the unemployment rate for black and Hispanic teens ages 16-19 is over 80%? That’s horrific.

There’s a youth unemployment crisis in Chicago and Illinois and several organizations are teaming together to present a dialogue between youth, legislators and key agency officials to address this issue.

A Youth Employment Hearing will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Monday, January 25th at the Chicago Urban League, 4510 S. Michigan. Contact any of the organizations in the image below for more details.
