G Herbo Turned His Old Elementary School Into A Youth Center

Sep 24, 2020

Making good on a pledge to improve Chicago and the surrounding areas, G Herbo proudly introduces a new Youth Center comprising a media lab, music incubator, and more.

He bought his old elementary school, Overton Elementary School, and will be modifying the building into a hub for the city’s youth to learn, experience, and create music in a safe environment. 

Just last week, he joined forces with Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, and Joey Purp to lead a “peace walk, which concluded with a back-to-school drive at the Youth Center. Chicago Congressman Bobby Rush made an appearance in a show of solidarity. Herbo summed up the day best as a chance to “Make the Hood Great Again. In addition to school supplies, they gave out shoes, offered free COVID-19 testing and voter registration.

Way to pay it forward G Herbo!
