Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC ChicagoLegal Prep is Chicago’s first and only legal-themed high school and serves 285 students from its West Garfield Park location. Legal Prep’s mission is to provide a high-quality high school education in one of Chicago’s most under resourced communities and use its legal-theme curriculum and programs to give students the skills to be successful in college and life. Founded in 2012, Legal Prep is consistently recognized in its eight years of operation as the highest rated open enrollment high school in a two-mile radius.

During that day, we will repaint various common spaces in the school; organize its utility, supply, and storage spaces; provide basic garden work around the building – specifically in the courtyard; set up Chromebooks for upcoming school year; and organize Library books and shelves.

Health/Safety Plan:
Legal Prep will ensure a safe and healthy environment for the volunteers to perform their tasks. Here is an outline of the major steps that will be taken to create a safe environment. Other steps may be taken based on current CDC and governmental guidance.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be provided to everyone but wearing a mask inside or outside the buildings will be optional.
• Over 35 hand-sanitizing stations have been installed throughout the building, and other portable hand sanitizers will be distributed and made available.
• Every bathroom will be cleaned thoroughly and made available. Only five people have access to the building over the summer, so it will have very limited use in advance of the Service Day. Our cleaning crew will have completed a thorough cleaning of the building before the Service Day and ensure that the soap dispensers are full stocked and doors can be opened with paper towels.
• Lunch will be served in our large lunchroom and properly spaced. Volunteers can also take their lunch outside if that is desired.
