There is one place in Chicago that is considered by many Filipino Americans as their “home away from home”. This place is called Rizal Center which is named after the Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. The center is located at 1332 W. Irving Park Rd., Chicago, IL 60613.
Get Involved!
Join the fun of collective (Bayanihan) work!
The Rizal Center is a multicultural, multigenerational community and cultural center located in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood! But it’s more than a building. It’s a revitalized way of thinking about who we are and how we engage with our community, our neighborhood, and our city.
During the last three months of 2022, members of the Bayanihan Volunteer Corps put the Rizal Center back to its rightful place – a safe place for community members to gather, celebrate happy and memorable events, dance, sing, eat, perform, exercise, meet new and old friends, hold forums, plan community actions, or just hang out.
The Rizal Center operates under the aegis of the Filipino American Council of Greater Chicago, one of the oldest cultural organizations in the nation.
See our Bayanihan Newsletter or Blog for Rizal Center content. Please contact us if you want to contribute content, volunteer, or donate!
