Chicago Conservation Corps

Hello C3 followers!

After some reflection, the C3 team has decided to close our page on Monday, January 12th. We have noticed more and more of the C3 community migrating to other platforms over the last few years, and feel that Facebook is no longer the best avenue for connecting with our Chicagoland community. Though the page will be gone, you can still follow us on Instagram, sign up for our C3 Newsletter, or join the C3 Discord for the latest updates from us! Looking forward to seeing you around!

Important C3 Leader Announcement! 📢

As of now, all C3 project proposals must be submitted at least 4 weeks before the proposed project date. 📅

This decision was made after careful consideration. Excitingly, we've seen a substantial increase in the amount of project proposals coming in this year! In order for our team to keep up with the influx of proposals, we need more time to support your projects. 🌱

We are a small team and we value the individual attention we are able to give each C3 Leader for each project. Thank you for your dedication to community sustainability efforts, and for your patience as we work to keep up with your inspiring momentum. 💪

C3 Mending Expert Nandi says that stitching is like handwriting: everyone’s stitches are a little different! 🪡

Repairing your clothes extends the lives of your garments, and is a great way to help reduce the millions of tons of textile waste produced every year. 👚

Not only is repair a great way to live out your sustainability values, but is also a way to personalize your clothes, making them one-of-a-kind pieces that truly feel like YOU! ✨
