Age 17
In Chicago, 60% of black students will graduate high school. At CYP we celebrate a 100% high school graduation rate among this same population.
Career Postings
As our team grows, we will post here to share new career opportunities with Chicago Youth Programs.
During COVID 19 CYP has made adjustments to continue our work in the community.
Chicago Youth Programs has transitioned to working remotely. While the current crisis necessitates how we work, it is clearer now perhaps more than ever, the importance of why we do what we do. It is moments like these that underscore the vital role we play in the lives of our youth and their families, acting now as a pipeline to connect them with much needed resources as they too navigate this crisis.
Spring News Update
CYP partnered with Feed Chicago and provided seven hundred and fifty (750) hot meals to families and essential workers in the community. We especially want to thank Epic Burger and Beach Burrito for their contributions.
Update on the 2020 Hope Gala
The 2020 Hope Gala has been postponed. Because the COVID-19 pandemic is a rapidly changing circumstance, we have not yet confirmed the new date.
HOPE/I AM CYP
To celebrate our annual Hope Gala, CYP youth and staff wrote and recorded this song to inspire us all to continue to believe in ourselves, and to remember the collective power of coming together.
