Chicago Prize 2022 finalist wants to help Greater Grand Crossing enter tech and business

Industries like tech and business are difficult to get into if you don’t have the access to opportunities that will teach you the things you need to know. One of the finalists of the Pritzker Traubert Foundation’s $10 million dollar Chicago Prize wants to bring those opportunities to Greater Grand Crossing. Reset talks to the finalists to hear their pitch to increase access not only in their community, but to neighboring communities. GUESTS: Rhonda Hopps, executive director for the Comer Education Campus Greg Mooney, board chair for the Comer Education Campus Vondale Singleton, founder of Champs Male Mentoring Program
