During registration, students can choose their top three wellness rotations from the following options:

We will do our best to accommodate preferences, though final assignments may vary.

NAMI Chicago will provide buses for organizations whose youth register. Once registration is complete, we’ll follow up to confirm pickup locations and times.

While NAMI Chicago staff will be onsite all day, we ask each community-based organization to have representatives accompany their youth.
