Youth Opportunities

  • 26th Ward Youth Interns

    Alderperson Jessie Fuentes and the staff of the 26th Ward advocate for policies that expand community access to City Hall programs and services and advance economic affordability for residents of Humboldt Park, Logan Square, Hermosa, West Town, and Belmont Cragin. Rooted in social and economic justice, our governance centers the voices of marginalized community members through intentional engagement and consultation. We design constituency services and community engagement efforts that foster dialogue, understanding, and conditions for collective growth and transformation.

    We are seeking interns to build alongside us.
