Cultivate Collective is combining wellness and sustainability to bring greener options and opportunities to the Southwest Side. They’re one of six groups from the South and West sides that are in the running for a $10 million dollar grant from the Pritzker Traubert Foundation. The Chicago Prize will be awarded to the group with the best pitch for a development project in their neighborhood on the South or West sides.

Reset explores speaks with Niquenya Collins, president of Cultivate Collective; Sarah Elizabeth Ippel, board member of Cultivate Collective and executive director of the Academy for Global Citizenship; and Kris De la torre, sustainability officer for Cultivate Collective.
