Seasons Greetings. From all of us at CYP, thank you to everyone who helped to make our Season of Hope 2020 merry and bright.
Christmas comes early to CYP! Thanks to funding from Republic Services & the partnership of Rebuilding Together of Metro Chicago, our youth, families, and staff will enjoy some improvements to our space when we’re able to welcome everyone back. Including a new gym floor!

In the last seven years, 100% of our youth have matriculated to college. But, retention is key. We work with our youth through the age of 25 in an effort to help them stay in college, graduate, and begin their career. Getting an education and securing a career is the surest path out of poverty for our youth and we endeavor to help them every step of the way. This is our #CYPpromise to them.
Cooking, Coding, and Public Speaking were just some of the programs offered this summer; coupled with Basketball Training and virtual field trips, our six (6) week summer CYvP Program for Pre-K through High School was absolutely amazing! Let’s not forget the addition of Family Night, which was held twice weekly, as a way to give parents an opportunity to engage in fun activities with their children and the CYP community.
Nikkia was born and raised in Cabrini Green Housing projects and her grandmother enrolled her and her sister in the program in 1991.
