As a student, Jennifer Parks, Arts ’93, was moved by Ignatian values: “Women and men for others became a guiding principle in my life.” The idea also shaped her career, beginning with a volunteer role at Habitat for Humanity in Philadelphia and ultimately bringing her back to her hometown as executive director of Habitat for Humanity Chicago. 🤝
That mission-driven journey now culminates in Pope Leo Village, a bold initiative inspired by Chicago-born Pope Leo’s legacy of service. The project launches with a 20-unit townhome development in West Pullman, on Chicago’s South Side, with planned expansion to 15 cities nationwide.
Parks hopes the project will “inspire young people to serve their community because serving young leads to a lifetime of service.”
