Your donations allow us to create positive change in the lives of Chicago’s youth. All donations are tax-deductible.
Urban Initiatives believes that play matters, and we can strengthen Chicago’s future with a foundation of social-emotional learning by building an enduring team of youth, coaches, families, schools, and communities.
Our innovative approach engages students and families from a young age and emphasizes social-emotional learning through play that students can take off of the field and into their classrooms, careers, and communities.
Our approach is to:
- Invest in quality coaches
- Enlist support from diverse networks of families, schools, and community members
- Develop social-emotional learning through play
- Use our network to help students build social capital
