Make an Impact
Your donations allow us to create positive change in the lives of Chicago’s youth. All donations are tax-deductible.
Urban Initiatives believes that providing Chicago youth with opportunities for success starts with unifying families, school communities, and neighborhoods of all types.
Our structured, incentive-based programs provide opportunities for kids to grow and learn, especially in academics, health, social-emotional learning, and leadership development. We start young and serve the needs of the whole child, from elementary school to high school and beyond.
Our approach is to:
- Engage youth through team sports and play to build relationships that last through high school and beyond
- Enlist support from diverse networks of families, schools, and community members
- Evaluate our programs to ensure continual learning
- Expand young people’s view of their world and ability to impact their community
