UNITE hosted the First Annual Grant Writing Workshop on March 17th, 2011 and had student teachers from Illinois State University and many current teachers from City Year Corps in North Lawndale in. UNITE offered a unique experience for young teachers to learn how to effectively find, apply, write grants. Katie Hallberg, a history teacher from Collins Academy facilitated the workshop and helped to design a unique experience for the participants to apply for UNITE $500 classroom grant.
