This summer, Urban Initiatives’ Summer of Sport engaged 470 young people across 17 Chicago sites over five weeks, using sports sampling and intentional coaching to build skills like teamwork and resilience alongside strong attendance, safety, and enjoyment outcomes.

Urban Initiatives, in partnership with Chicago Public Schools, intends to apply for the FY27 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant to provide academic enrichment, sports and play programming, and family engagement opportunities across seven elementary schools.

The third year of the Community Member to Coach program in North Lawndale empowered twenty-five youth apprentices with essential job readiness skills and financial literacy through an eight-week experiential learning curriculum that combined sports coaching training with real-world application at community events.
