Young people are the future of our shared communities. | |
At Mikva Challenge, we know that it only takes one — one teacher, one mentor, one caring adult to bring out The Power Of One! With your support, Mikva Challenge provides youth the knowledge and agency to make change in the communities where they live and learn. Mikva Challenge’s Neighborhood Leadership Initiative Program (NLI) is an afterschool program for 12-15 year olds in the North Lawndale, Gage Park, and New City communities. This initiative, led by Mikva alum James Fields and his team, inspires the next generation of leaders and encourages them to believe in the power of their voices. | |
We can’t do it without you! Your support gives young people from neighborhoods across Chicago the opportunity to become leaders of change. In the next year, we plan to expand this program and we need your gift to do so. Let’s do more to help the next generation feel seen, give them the confidence to know that they have agency, and know that their voices matter. Will you make a donation today? Every new or upgraded gift will be DOUBLED by an anonymous donor! | |
