Our MissionSketchPad energizes and strengthens an open Chicago Jewish community by promoting collaboration and innovation for Jewish nonprofit organizations and professionals. SketchPad provides a coworking space and programming that stimulates cross-fertilization of ideas, further invigorating our communal landscape. | Our VisionSketchPad is the model for Jewish community engagement and collaboration in Chicago: an intellectual, cultural, spiritual, and socially conscious hub. It maximizes the individual and collective impact of members, the sharing of ideas and resources, and the development of an inspired network of Jewish professionals and organizations. |
Our Values
First, we place value in our Network. At SketchPad, we believe that a strong web of interconnected organizations and individuals is the foundation of effective advancement. We work towards a shared culture of learning, celebration, and professional growth. Secondly, we believe in Community. Through every handshake, introduction, and shared cup of coffee, we form closer bonds to not only develop our professional relationships but our personal ones too. Between our coworkers, we prioritize an atmosphere of joy and respect in our shared space. Third is Spirit. We engage in Jewish learning, practices, and tradition, while placing the value of hachnasat orchim, intentionally practicing radical hospitality, at the heart of our community. Lastly, we believe in the value of Openness. As a united group of peers, we are committed to approaching each other and our work with empathy and understanding. Accepting diverse experiences and opinions allows us to produce new ideas and innovative solutions. |
