Often affectionately known as \u201cM3,\u201d\u200b\u200b the local Chicagoland organization aims to inspire youth, empower communities, and build a better world, one block at a time. The two organizations will team up with an aligned mission and vision of making Chicago a better place to live, work, and play.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2013 by Jahmal Cole, My Block, My Hood, My City (M3) provides opportunities for others to step outside their comfort zone and explore new communities, cultures, and cuisines in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the world. The organization believes in encouraging others to fully immerse themselves in new experiences, continuously soaking up new knowledge and expanding their network, and that each and every one of us needs to take responsibility for our communities – it is only through our efforts of service, empathy, and collaboration will we see our communities truly evolve.<\/p>\n
