Look Who’s Pitching In: ZS!
In our LOOK WHO’S PITCHING IN story series, the Chicago Parks Foundation will introduce you to the volunteers who are making the 2021 season of Pitch In for the Parks + Green Teams citywide park clean-ups possible.
Today, we meet ZS!
ZS joined us for a Green Teams clean-up day on September 17th at Humboldt Park. Their Chicago and Evanston offices each joined in for one big volunteer day!
Who is ZS?
ZS is a professional services firm that works alongside companies to help develop and deliver products that drive customer value and company results. We are passionately committed to helping companies and their customers thrive.
How did your organization hear about CPF and the Green Team program?
Our ZS Cares volunteer and Green Teams were looking for a local organization to partner with that shared our values of enhancing our community and encouraging sustainability habits.
Why is volunteering for the parks important to your organization?
This past year and a half has been challenging for everyone; we’ve been looking for ways to stay relevant and help our community while also keeping in mind everyone’s safety. When we found CPF it was a perfect match – we’ve found a partner to help us practice what we preach. Parks are an integral part of a healthy city and neighborhood and we were ecstatic to work with Sonia to help clean up Humboldt Park.
How does your organization’s mission relate to the work you’re doing with CPF?
At ZS, we take pride in continuing to embody the values our firm was founded on—get it right, do the right thing, and treat people right—by engaging in world-positive economic, environmental, and social practices.
Thank you for pitching in, ZS Chicago & Evanston!

YOU CAN PITCH IN, TOO!
Help us cover as much park ground as possible this season. The Chicago Parks Foundation’s citywide Pitch In for the Parks volunteer effort equips volunteer with the supplies and support you need to make an impact across our city’s 600+ parks!
Anyone can host a Pitch In clean-up group (free supplies delivered to you) or join a free volunteer event on our calendar. Or schedule a personalized volunteer event for your coworkers with our Green Teams corporate clean-up program. Both programs run June through October 2021. Start planning ahead for 2022!
You can also join us with a gift or become a Chicago Parks Foundation Member! Your support helps make vital park programming like Pitch In for the Parks possible. When you invest in the parks, you invest in the communities who love and depend on them!
