What is the Chicago Basecamp?
Established in August 2024, the Chicago Basecamp is a local network for people who want to create positive change. Whether you’re young or young at heart, our basecamp connects you with others who care about their communities and provides resources to turn your ideas into action. Our goal is to foster respect, understanding, and compassion – in an effort to make the world a better place.
