Mentors from Humboldt Park and Little Village collaborated to bring youth from both neighborhoods together. Youth that normally do not venture out of their neighborhood were able to interact with other youth that are the same age as them but from a different cultural background. They were able to share a meal together, get to know each other and attend an improvised comedy show at local venue called Comedy Sportz in the city’s northside. Youth shared laughs and were able to meet someone they would have otherwise never had a chance to interact with, broadening their understanding of the diversity they can experience in Chicago.
