At Chicago Youth Centers, we work to ensure every child has the opportunity to blossom into their best selves. Your support will create a summer packed with fun and engaging activities that allow kids to explore and learn.
How your gift makes a difference:
We thoughtfully design our programs to include social-emotional learning, well-being practices, and problem-solving skills to assist every child’s growth. From rock climbing to astronomy to painting, kids get the chance to try a wide range of activities to discover what they love.
We’ve begun practicing heart-centered breathing, hosting self-love summits with CYC teens, and even hosting Parent University classes. Taking care of the mind, body, and spirit in a holistic, intentional way helps CYC make the greatest impact on our communities.
Thanks to supporters like you, CYC kids get to attend 8 weeks of enriching full-day summer fun, giving working parents peace of mind. Summer programming includes weekly immersive field trips to community partners like the Museum of Science and Industry and the Shedd Aquarium.
Together, we can ensure every CYC kid will flourish and flower!
