Chase Park Chase Park is CBT's flagship
site, established in 2005. During the 2005-2006 academic year, CBT offered
tutoring services at Chase Park and recruited tutors from Lakeview, Lane
Tech, Senn Metro and Amundsen High Schools. CBT's inaugural program at Chase
Park culminated in a park clean-up by high-school tutors and board members on May 13, 2006.
CBT continues to offer free tutoring services and has delivered over 500 hours of tutoring to the young learners in the community. If you are interested in signing your child up or volunteering to be a tutor please contact Suzy Deucher at playarole@cbtutors.org or by telephone at 773-510-2139. In addition to providing a tutoring program at Chase Park CBT has assisted the Chase Park Advisory Council in raising funds for renovations to the existing playground. Our most recent collaboration resulted in a one-day family centered festival that occurred in the summer of 2007 that attracted over 600 attendees. Additionally, CBT is working with the Chase Park Advisory Council and the Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce to execute a 2-day summer festival in the summer of 2008. Proceeds of the event will predominately go towards renovations at Chase Park. Family

CBT is excited to offer a new tutoring program in a new community starting in the spring of 2009. The program will be modeled after our very successful program at Chase Park which enlisted local high-school students as volunteer tutors and the children in the community as the young learners. This program will be offered with the generous support of the Otis Wilson Foundation. If you would like to sign your child up for the free tutoring service or you are interested in tutoring please contact Meghan Bongartz at playarole@cbtutors.org or telephone at 773-510-2139.

Previous Sites
The ACME Arts Building housed one of CBT's two new sites in the 2006-2007 academic year. CBT has discontinued this site due to difficulties in attracting a stable tutor and young learner population. However, during the programs existence we did sponsor an excellent community event that brought together about 50 children in the community to celebrate Halloween. Please click on the link below to see some very excellent pictures from the event. Merit School of Music Beginning in the fall of 2006 a partnership with the Merit School of Music allowed CBT to offer their tutoring services to the students who participate in the Merit School of Music after school programming. CBT attracted tutors from local colleges, including the University of Illinois at Chicago and DePaul University.
