Mission

Established in 2011 by retired Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood, and his wife Sarah, Pitch In (fka Wood Family Foundation) seeks to improve the lives of children in four high-need neighborhoods in Chicago: North Lawndale, Humboldt Park, Austin, and Englewood, and to inspire others to join in. Our primary program, called Pitch In, is immersed in our school partnership buildings, and run by our highly-qualified Pitch In staff members. Pitch In is dedicated to ensuring that students from Chicago's Austin, Englewood, Humboldt Park, and North Lawndale neighborhoods successfully transition from middle school to high school, ready to succeed. Pitch In partners with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) elementary schools to boost student outcomes in 4th-8th grade, and we are committed to improving the culture and support systems surrounding the middle school space district-wide.

The Pitch In program actively partners with four Chicago Public elementary schools in the North Lawndale and Humboldt Park neighborhoods to deliver an in-school and after-school, social emotional learning program grounded in: building trusting, long-term, collaborative relationships with 4th-9th students, their families, school leaders, teachers, and school counselors; offering enrichment opportunities inside and outside the Pitch In classroom to help students develop their diverse worldviews; and paving the way for a smooth transition to high school by supporting students' knowledge, skills, mindsets, and agency. Our organization aims to scale across multiple neighborhoods to serve middle school students on the south and west sides of Chicago.
