Participants learn how to develop business plans, pitch their concepts, and build sustainable ventures that reflect their passions and talents. By fostering innovation and equipping youth with real-world business skills, we empower the next generation to not only create economic opportunities for themselves but also drive positive change within their communities. In this photo, our 14–15-year-olds are rocking custom-designed t-shirts they created as part of the One Summer Chicago: Chicagobility program. Using AI, we taught them how to turn their logo ideas into professional printed tees. They proudly wore them to our South Side vs. West Side Softball Game—and took their first step into entrepreneurship by launching their own business, “Snowballs On The Go,” earning cash selling snowballs at the event! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67eef55a1433922d80a57550/3f7047a9-4357-4eae-8819-019f4fd1271a/DSC02688.jpeg Home - Violence Prevention We offer healing-centered engagement strategies that address the root causes of violence while promoting emotional well-being and community connection. Through mentorship, supportive programming, and structured activities, we help youth develop conflict resolution skills, build healthy relationships, and find alternatives to violence. Our goal is to strengthen protective factors, reduce risk, and empower young people to create safer, more supportive environments for themselves and their peers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67eef55a1433922d80a57550/17402c13-6a62-450f-9046-953851552bc2/DSC02702-2.jpeg Home - Leadership & Life Skills Our Leadership & Life Skills programs focus on building these essential qualities through training in public speaking, financial literacy, advocacy, decision-making, and personal development. We provide youth with the tools they need to navigate real-life challenges, advocate for themselves and others, and take initiative in their schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods. By investing in their leadership potential, we are cultivating bold, capable individuals who are ready to lead with integrity and purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67eef55a1433922d80a57550/adad0a0c-5b15-4a76-b52c-2135f524a6db/NGVL+Flyer.jpg Home - We Invest in Futures… NGVL equips youth and young adults with the skills, confidence, and support they need to succeed.
