Ignite
We believe every young person should have the support they need to be defined by their potential, not their circumstances. Ignite serves young people ages 14 to 26 who are overcoming homelessness and housing insecurity in Chicago. We do this through programs, services and a lifelong community that collectively transform an individual’s potential. We have stood beside Chicago’s most vulnerable young people for over 40 years, previously as Teen Living Programs. We believe every young person should have the support they need to be defined by their potential, not their circumstances. We ignite advocacy, opportunity, and community. We stand with youth on their journey to a home and a future with promise.
