The recent pandemic has created a strain on many of the economic engines and organizational entities that impact childhood development. One of those critical agents is the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) school district which has been forced to homeschool many of its students, particularly those in economically challenged and violence riddled neighborhoods. These students rely on CPS for more than just an education, for some it's their only opportunity for a nutritious meal, an outlet from the troubles that plague their homes, or the opportunity to interact with positive influencers.

Our goal is to impact children/ youth vulnerable to these circumstances by serving as a vehicle for exposure. A positive, safe and broad exposure to the world around them outside of their respective communities can help to improve their outlook on life, plant seeds of potential and bring them one step closer to realizing their dreams.
