More than a small world, it’s a small block

by Caroline

A fascinating acquaintance and Beloit College classmate now works at a Heartland Alliance office a few doors down from my office. He was sitting in the patio area of our local independent fair-trade coffee shop.

Nonprofit Heartland Alliance offers a variety of services at various Chicago locations, including very low-cost healthcare, life skills education, and help for those transitioning from or on the brink of homelessness. Beloit College is some kind of wonderful do-gooder factory, as I can’t even count the number of people I know who’ve gone to work at nonprofits, in higher ed, teaching English overseas, and so forth.
