The Magazine Vendor Program
A%g1e8-24 5
The StreetWise vendors are entrepreneurs. They earn their money! The StreetWise badge has more than their picture or identification number. The badge gives a vendor the right to sell the magazine on public property. But it is so much more than a badge - it is a symbol of pride, human dignity, and making an honest living. The badge distinguishes a vendor from a panhandler. The badge also is a symbol of community as vendors assist, support and advocate for their fellow vendors.

StreetWise Magazine
StreetWise magazine is among the largest “street papers” in the United States and serves as a model for street papers across North America. The editorial staff works hard to provide intriguing articles about today’s important issues as well as entertaining stories to enhance the reader’s daily life. By engaging the unemployed and underemployed as vendors, StreetWise is able to personalize the face of Chicago’s poor, while providing each person with a viable income opportunity.
