The Highland Park Public Library enriches our community by circulating ideas, information, and technology. Arts enrichment is part of this. HPCF’s grant is supporting a series of six to eight family-friendly music programs, featuring music from different genres. The aim of the series is to provide arts enrichment for the community while increasing the audience’s exposure to, and appreciation of, different types of music in an informal setting. Concerts at the Library began in 2016 at the request of the community for more robust music programming that was free and during quieter times of the musical calendar. The concerts attract a diverse audience of young families to seniors.

Working Together implements projects that benefit and support the Hispanic communities in Highwood and Highland Park. Its programs offer enrichment opportunities for children between the ages of 3 and 14 in a variety of areas including ballet, hip hop, break dance, art, robotics, Tae Won Do, swimming, guitar, and folkloric dance. While children are participating in these programs, parents are offered classes to help them learn how to speak with their children about health, wellness, sexuality, and nutrition, and can also attend yoga, zumba, knitting, and crochet classes. HPCF funding supports several of Working Together’s programs for children, including Educators of Tomorrow, which offers students the opportunity to improve their school performance and provides a safe and welcoming environment to address the tendency of young Latinos and low-income children to join gangs absent other safe and engaging activities.
