Programs

This school year, Urban Initiatives is offering two sports-based youth development programs to students in the Chicago Public Schools: the Work to Play Program and the Urban Initiatives Coaches Corps.

Our programs aim to fulfill Urban Initiatives' mission by actively engaging children from underserved Chicago communitites in safe and structured extracurricular activities. Specfically, our programs use sports as a tool to target youth academic engagement, physical fitness, health education, and character development.
