The Resident Association of Greater Englewood (R.A.G.E.) is transforming the South Side of Chicago through community-driven action. Founded by local residents, R.A.G.E. focuses on uniting neighbors, amplifying voices, and creating real opportunities for growth.
Their community engagement programs—from town hall meetings to block club support—help residents share resources, address safety concerns, and shape local development. Initiatives like the Englewood Village Meetings and So Fresh Saturdays bring together families, artists, and small businesses to celebrate culture and discuss solutions.
R.A.G.E. also provides mentorship, leadership training, and media storytelling that highlight positive narratives about Englewood—challenging stereotypes and inspiring pride.
By investing directly in people, R.A.G.E. isn’t just improving Englewood—it’s helping residents reclaim ownership of their neighborhood and future.
