      VAI’s Youth Program has served 200 students in its year-round after school and summer programming. The program offers a variety of affordable resources including nutritious meals, academic support, computer literacy, mentorship, sports, arts, field trips and family engagement socials. Through partnerships with Loyola University Chicago, Northeastern Illinois University and After School Matters, we are able to provide quality programming to the Uptown community. 

      Our program’s mission is to empower future leaders by providing enriching, culturally competent programming and experiences that foster personal growth and expand one’s worldview.
