The Chicago Children’s Choir currently serves over 5,000 students across Chicago in all 52 zip codes through its vast network of in-school and after-school choir programs. CCC’s after-school Neighborhood Choirs are found in Albany Park, Austin, Beverly, Bucktown, Englewood, Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, Pilsen/Little Village, and Rogers Park. These groups perform at several events in their community throughout the school year. They’ll also have a chance to travel with their Choir.
Chicago Children’s Choir, led by president and artistic director Josephine Lee, is a non-profit organization that inspires and unites youth from diverse backgrounds to become global citizens through music. Founded in Hyde Park in direct response to the Civil Rights Movement in 1956, CCC has grown from one choir into a vast network of in-school and after-school programs driven by one mission: to inspire and change lives through music. CCC has impacted the lives of more than 50,000 diverse youth throughout its 63-year history. Since its founding, CCC has focused on building programs that reflect the racial and economic diversity of Chicago. Eighty percent of youth served are from low-moderate income homes, with over 4,000 students annually participating completely free of charge. All singers in CCC programs receive some level of subsidy. High school seniors enrolled in CCC have a 100% graduation and college acceptance rate, becoming global ambassadors who carry on CCC’s core values in a wide array of professional fields.
