Who's the next generation of leaders? What skills do they need to enjoy their future role and sustain it? The Soul Children of Chicago (SCC) offers an answer to these questions. As the world wrestles with cultural divides, economic inequities, and a crisis of youth identity, SCC empowers young minds to lead with courage, creativity, and conviction through education, career guidance, cultural exposure, and the power of song.
Founded in 1981 by Dr. Walt Whitman, Jr., SCC has been a nurturing environment for young people to discover their voices and potential. It began as a small school choir in Chicago's South Side and has grown into a Grammy Award-winning, internationally recognized powerhouse. With its roots in gospel and its reach now spanning continents, the organization is more than a local treasure. It's a global youth movement. "SCC is a global choir for all youth who want to dream bigger and do better," Dr. Whitman stresses.
