Who We Are
IN-TAO Multicultural Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving children, teens, and families in Chicago’s Chinatown and nearby neighborhoods.
Our work began in 2018 with a Taekwondo program. Today, IN-TAO brings after-school homework support, Taekwondo and fitness, drum lessons, Chinese language, and visual arts together under one roof. From working through a school assignment to playing a first drum rhythm or creating a watercolor painting, children have a place close to home to get support and explore what interests them.
Our Mission
Our mission is to give more children in our community opportunities to learn, stay active, and express themselves. We help students build habits they can carry beyond the classroom: asking for help when they need it, practicing when a skill is difficult, and encouraging others as they learn.
Through classes, student showcases, and cultural activities, we also give families ways to take part in their children’s learning and get to know others in the neighborhood.
