VAULTS, VIBES & VOLUNTEERS
The N3ighborhood H3ro invites you to..
Vaults, Vibes & Volunteers is a soulful weekend experience where community service and cultural expression collide. On Saturday, September 27, guests are invited to volunteer alongside Root2fruit youth during a Day of Activation in Chicago’s first youth-led Safe Zone beautifying lots, sorting plastics, prepping murals, and sharing a community lunch at ALT_. Then on Sunday, September 28, the space transforms into Vaults & Vibes — a day party fundraising experience filled with curated vibes, live music, catered bites, and crafted drinks inside a historic West Side bank. From service to celebration, this is a weekend built for those who move with purpose and believe in investing in youth-led transformation.
ASAP Name Day 2025
ASAP Name Day is a powerful community celebration marking the official recognition of the ASAP Safe Zone—Chicago’s first city-designated safe zone—on the Westside. Hosted at ALT_ and in partnership with the 29th Ward Alderman and City of Chicago, this event honors the youth, residents, and partners who helped transform the area into a vibrant, safe, and community-driven space. The evening will feature youth leaders, city officials, art, music, and the unveiling of the Protect Our Hood dedication, all grounded in joy, pride, and purpose.
