Find your kid’s people.
Find yours, too.
A member-driven community connecting gifted kids and their parents with the events, resources, and understanding that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Chicago Gifted Community Center is a member-driven nonprofit created by parents who needed what didn’t exist yet: a place where the intellectual and emotional needs of gifted kids are understood, not explained away.
We support families across the city and suburbs with kids’ events built around their interests, parent gatherings, seminars, book clubs, and a network of professionals who work with gifted and twice-exceptional learners every day. If you can’t find a group near you, we’ll help you start one.
Kids’ meetups around shared interests, parent nights, and book clubs that turn strangers into your kid’s people, and yours.
Parenting-gifted seminars, mental health resources, and a directory of professionals fluent in asynchronous development.
Registration, marketing, and event insurance, so any parent can launch a program in their own corner of Chicagoland.
Events CGCC runs for members and families. Looking for more? See community events from other organizers on the Programs page.
Creating connections. Creating community.
An all-volunteer network of parents and professionals, in Chicago and the suburbs.
Dues fund the network, not a building. Every dollar goes back into events, insurance, and support for local organizers.
Many of our kids’ and parent events are open to newcomers, so you can see if CGCC is a fit before you join.
