"The largest community clean-up in Chicago"

Imagine Englewood if ... we unite and beautify our community!

Imagine Englewood if is a grassroots youth development organization that has been serving the Greater Englewood community since 1997. Our mission is to strengthen and empower the Greater Englewood community by teaching local youths and their families about healthy living, environmental awareness, and positive communication skills. We provide year-round enrichment opportunities for children 6-18 years old to grow, learn and explore.

Since 2012, Imagine Englewood If has organized Greater Englewood Unity Day for residents, community members and stakeholders to clean up blocks and celebrate the power of collaboration. Over the years, this event has brought together over 2,000+ volunteers representing over 200+ organizations to show the strength, power and love that exist in the Greater Englewood community.

We cannot wait for our 2023 Unity Day to connect, collaborate, and make Greater Englewood a more beautiful place to live, work, and play.
