Team Captains Neida and Luis on Windy City Live

Urban Initiatives’ Offsite Huddle at Adams Street Partners showed student captains how the teamwork and leadership they build through play are the same skills needed to lead in a professional boardroom.

Urban Initiatives’ Coach Apprenticeship Program is building a local leadership pipeline in North Lawndale, with 40% of participants transitioning into new jobs or education within three months of completing this “learn-and-earn” sports mentorship.

We are thrilled to announce that Urban Initiatives has been selected as a Young Futures Innovator (YF Innovator) and grant recipient of the Oops!… AI Did It Again Challenge!
