Our Vision
Within each community we serve, New Life Centers seeks to empower this generation to transform the next. Listening to our neighbors’ stories and requests, we work alongside community partners to create solutions that fit our neighborhood. We desire to host Centers to which neighbors can continually come with needs or ideas that transform their community. We envision a city where joyful, productive families, supported by the community, equip youth and neighbors with the vision and skills to live in fullness of life.
Who We Are
We are neighborhood based Centers that connect youth and young adults with Christ and Community through mentoring, education, sports and street outreach. We walk alongside young people through the ups and downs of life and guide them towards a “new life” and “new direction.”
What We Do
We operate sites in the Humboldt Park and Little Village neighborhoods of Chicago. Each site offers unique programs that respond to the specific requests of our neighbors, most of which fall under four broad categories: Mentoring, Education, Sports and Street Outreach.
