Compass in the Community – 2025
Thank you, HDR Foundation, for choosing Compass for Kids as the recipient of this incredible grant which supplies BrickLAB STEM Kits and Curricula for Camp Compass. We appreciate your commitment to inspiring young learners and building brighter futures!
The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce Annual Gala was a lovely event! We celebrated Taylor Mullin, Administrative Assistant, as she completed her Leadership Springfield program.
UIS Basketball and Compass for Kids Partnership
We had so much fun at the UIS basketball games in January! We hung out with our friends from Bank of Springfield, and our Club kids made the welcome tunnel and played games on the court during breaks. We are especially proud of our YLDP, multi-talented youth, Marcus, for singing the National Anthem! Way to go, Marcus! Thank you to UIS Athletics for including us as your first community partner of the season!
Club Kids visit WICS Studio
The Graham Elementary Club Compass kids were treated to a field trip to Channel 20 WICS television studio in early February to get a behind-the-scenes look at broadcasting. The green screen was a huge hit—maybe we have some future broadcasters in the making!
