Rahm,
This is an event you may want to attend and share some of your vision on helping youth. This "Youth Shout
Out" is to give kids in our most dangerous neighborhood a chance to tell us what should be done. I funded this
because of frustration that we were not listening to the "customer" and we're delivering "products" (mentoring,
therapy and parent engagement) in inefficient vehicles. Get In Chicago and others are having trouble getting
enough youth to participate in programs that deliver sustainable improvements. The idea is to link kids with an
innovation firm and have them come up with ideas for things we can do THIS SUMIIVIER to reduce violence.
Three groups will present their ideas on June 4th at the MSI starting at 6 pm to a wide group of people from the
city. I also asked Aquil Basheer (runs A Better LA) to come and share his learnings based on a
recommendation from Pete Carroll who participated in their violence reduction effects.
While this is an Allstate event and separate from Get In Chicago we have worked closely with them and a
,\ number of other organizations to make this a full community event so everybody feels involved and part of the
process. I do intend to fund some of these ideas from GIC.
Let me know if you would like to attend.
The attachments give you an idea of what they are doing and who is on the invite list.

Good morning,
The invitee list for Youth Shout Out is attached along with a summary of weeks 1-3 of the project. You'll see a
broad list of organizations with influence in the city as well as direct involvement in safety issues. The open rate
for the invitation is high and RSVPs are coming in. We will send another message after Memorial Day to those
who opened but did not respond.
Toni and her team are sending invitations this week to some key groups including McCarthy and religious
leaders. Let me know if there are other groups we should include.
