For young people to reach their potential including in school, in work, and in life, they need information and resources. They also need to understand what opportunities they have or how to create them. It’s crucial for them to believe in themselves, so they can reach their goals.
Here at City Incite, we focus the majority of our efforts on low-income neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side. Most of our programs are for young people. These young people may not have the opportunities available in other communities, but what they have is potential. And with the right tools and support they have a lot of potential.
As residents and citizens of the world, it’s our job to help provide better opportunities.
To enrich lives by inciting people to work together, develop leaders, and uplift communities.
