🎉 Big News! 🎉
We have officially been selected as a 2025 MiSpace Grant Recipient powered by .cares! We are excited to
expand our work in supporting youth mental wellness in our community.
The need for youth mental health support has never been greater. Nationally, 1 in 5 adolescents in the U.S. struggles with their mental health—and here in Illinois, that number rises to 1 in 2.
Through the MiSpace Grant, $1 million is being invested into community centers like ours to create and expand programs that strengthen youth mental wellness—ensuring young people feel seen, heard, and equipped to thrive.
Congratulations to all the 2025 MiSpace Grant recipients! We can’t wait to share what we have planned for this amazing opportunity. Stay tuned—big things are coming!
