Introducing the West Garfield Park YMCA!
The Sankofa Wellness Village in Garfield Park
Residents, faith-based and health care institutions, nonprofits — including the YMCA of Metro Chicago! — and other stakeholders in Garfield Park are working to revitalize the neighborhood’s commercial quarter and break the cycle of disinvestment through a new initiative called the Sankofa Wellness Village. The Sankofa Wellness Village will create opportunities for West Garfield Park residents of all ages to have access to health and recreation services, business development, healthy food, and the arts.
The Sankofa Village Wellness Center will be the (literal!) center of the Sankofa Wellness Village, where individuals and families can access programs, offerings, and services that empower all people. As part of the Sankofa Village Wellness Center, the West Garfield Park YMCA will offer fitness and sports, childcare and youth programming, and more.
