CREW Careers Committee

This annual multi-week program is designed to introduce teenage girls to the many career opportunities available to them in the commercial real estate industry. These programs are delivered in cooperation with a local academic institution and/or not-for-profit girls’ group.

CREW Chicago has been working with Off the Street Club, which is Chicago’s oldest boys and girls club, for over ten years. The organization serves more than 3,000 kids in neighborhoods of Chicago by offering afterschool programs, tutoring and mentorship opportunities.
