Help us continue our success in serving Chicagoland Youth and Adults by donating directly to our scholarship or capital equipment funds!

Giving everyone access to creative industrial arts education…this is equity! Giving everyone access to the tools that allow for safe and effective work to make nearly anything…this is empowering! Add both together…this is CIADC!
