Ignite stands with youth on their journey to a home and a future with promise.

关于我们

We believe every young person should have the support they need to be defined by their potential, not their circumstances. Ignite serves young people ages 10 to 26 who are overcoming homelessness and housing insecurity in Chicago. We do this through programs, services and a lifelong community that collectively transform an individual’s potential. We have stood beside Chicago’s most vulnerable young people for over 40 years, previously as Teen Living Programs. We believe every young person should have the support they need to be defined by their potential, not their circumstances. We ignite advocacy, opportunity, and community. We stand with youth on their journey to a home and a future with promise.

    We can't say thank you enough. Because our amazing supporters, we raised over $559,000 to empower and fuel Ignite's programming and youth! Our Ignite & Shine Gala was beyond a success and we're so grateful to be apart of this community with you! As long as we are around we'll continue driving the work to prevent and end youth homelessness with everything in us, and that's our Ignite Promise. ??

    At Ignite, we are inspired by the resilience and dreams that youth carry and their perseverance, regardless of the challenges they face. Ignite opens a world of possibilities for youth in Chicago by providing a safe place where they can build trust, receive mental health care, look for a job, complete a college application, and secure their first apartment. When we celebrate the achievement of these milestones, we show a young person that there is a pathway to their dreams. Read more about Ignite's impact here: https://ow.ly/PnZR50Ucl6q

    According to Chapin Hall, 40% of youth experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQ+. On this Transgender Remembrance Day, Ignite continues to stand in solidarity with all youth--a solid reminder that all youth have a place at Ignite. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion means advocating for a world where every young person can thrive, free from fear and discrimination. Together, we create safe spaces for all of our young people to belong.

And thank you to our amazing volunteers from Deloitte, who gave their time to assist in feeding our crowd! Thank you for your dedication to Ignite and our mission.

    Today, on National Philanthropy Day, we celebrate the unwavering commitment of those who contribute to our mission—whether it’s through donations, time, or advocacy. This generosity allows us to provide essential resources to young people experiencing homelessness, empowering them and building a brighter future. Diversity in philanthropy ensures that the youth Ignite serves have stable housing for up to 6 years. It takes the dedicated work of Ignite's staff, community members, and a vital combination of public and private funding to ensure that the needs of every youth at Ignite are fully met. Stand with us and empower our youth on this National Philanthropy Day. Read more: https://ow.ly/C7JC50U8m8H

    Did you know? Ignite is one of the only organizations in Chicago that can accept minors that have crossed state lines. Our Bronzeville Youth Shelter provides young people aged 14 to 17, with a safe, supportive, and temporary place to stay while also providing basic needs and crisis intervention. This Wear Green Day, we reflect on the young people we've been able to help and vow to always remain an open door to everyone in need.
