About Us

Against the backdrop of Chicago's West Garfield Park, where crime, gangs and drugs are a daily threat, we offer hope. Off The Street Club is a place where kids living in this neighborhood have a safe place to learn, laugh and play without worry. We offer several afterschool programs, tutoring and mentorship opportunities for all the kids that pass through our doors. Off-site, we run a number of programs throughout the Chicagoland area, including our very own summer camp, Camp Mathieu, in Wheaton, IL and our Chicago Metro Soap Box Derby STEM program.
