YOUR PASSION 1ST

Upwards of 50,000 opportunity youth in Chicago are disconnected from the mainstream (Aspen Community Solutions.org). We inspire young adults to overcome adversity, and empower them to follow their passion into the workforce or entrepreneurship, while focusing on mental health. There’s something special inside of every young adult. Sometimes it just takes a little time to uncover it.

We inspire young adults to tap into their talents through our events, festivals, and collaborative workshops. We then provide coaching & mentorships to help build their mental health and develop their passion in pursuit of a lucrative self rewarding career. We Build Curiosity Through project based learning, young adults dive right in. Their curiosity becomes a light switch that can generate self-motivation and confidence, which are key ingredients to transforming their communities. Our teams are led by passionate professionals, industry leaders, and an outgoing youth advisory board.
