New this year! One Summer Chicago is now called Chicago Youth Works (CYW), but your One Summer Chicago login from last year still works!
If you applied to One Summer Chicago programs for the Summer 2025 session, you do not have to create a new Chicago Youth Works (CYW) account!
-
Log into your CYW application reusing the same username or email address you used for OSC last year.
Click on the Forgot Username? or Forgot Password? links if you need assistance returning to your profile.
💡Can't remember if you had a profile last year? The After School Matters Help Center staff may be able to assist! Submit a ticket and we will do our best to try to locate your login information from last year. You can learn more about receiving Help with One Summer Chicago (OSC) Application in our Help Center article.
⚠️ Do not create a new account if you cannot remember your login from last year! Submit a ticket and let our support team help you!
- Instead of filling out an entirely new application, you will only need to review/update your profile to ensure all your information is correct.
- Once you've completed the Your Profile section of your application, in the Current Opportunities section you may click on the Start Your CYW 2026 Application button to begin the 2026 Chicago Youth Works application.
- After fully submitting the CYW application in the Current Opportunities section, you must complete the ASM portion of the application. Learn more about that in our How to Access the ASM Portion of the Summer Application Help Center article.
