Once you arrive at the center, ask for (me) Harishi.

I also remember that some of you wanted to meet up and come as a group. Remember, we can’t accommodate groups of more than 3 people. If you’re interested in coming as a small group or in a pair, email the class and arrange things for yourself. You can find everyone else’s email address from the mass emails that we have sent to you.

When:

You can visit anytime during regular hours: Monday - Friday, 10 AM – 4 PM

If you’re unable to visit SWYC within this schedule, please contact me and we can arrange an alternative.

Special Events or Programs (fulfills your visit requirement)

  • Break-dancing/Tech classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4 – 7 PM
  • On Tuesdays and Thursday, SWYC has around 6 interns that come from U of C, Depaul, NIU, and UIC, so the place is really active and busy. If you want to speak to SWYC interns about their experience, I'd be happy to arrange that.

I recommend anyone that is interested in this situation to check out this film. It is definitely slanted to a certain side, but to me (and the people I viewed it with) it created a conversation about the subject.
