Testimonial

“Being a member at SketchPad has provided me with a community that I otherwise wouldn’t have. As a remote employee of a regional nonprofit, I didn't have a professional home in Chicago. Thanks to SketchPad, I feel part of something locally and it has helped me be more engaged and effective in my role.”

Olivia Zale
Director of Development, Institute of Southern Jewish Life
