Sage and Chicago Hope Academy are GoodTogether®

 

The West side of Chicago, like any city, has some pretty rough areas. But child safety is not a concern on the campus of the Chicago Hope Academy (CHA). There, young men and women learn that life is more than just take what you can get. A safe haven for all people of any race, creed, or gender, the CHA looks to bring biblical values to a place where values have been lost.

It can be easy to think of technology as a demoralizing vehicle—with its cold calculations and its underlying algorithms that have recently come under debate. But when put in the hands of organizations like the Chicago Hope Academy, these devices can be vehicles of real change for good in the community.

Many businesses have technology that has lost its value within the walls of the company, but that would be perfect for the students at Chicago Hope. By working with Sage’s GoodTogether program, those devices that would be gathering dust can be used to gather a force for good on the West side. Used to create strong, future leaders for Chicago and the rest of the country.
