ABOUT US

MISSION

Youth as Possibility Chicago (YAPC) was created in December of 1999. Our mission is to guide and mentor at-risk African American youth to fulfilling and productive lives in their community. Our vision is that these young people contribute to the uplifting of their people and the community. We want them to engage in healthy and responsible relationships; be positive role models for younger youth; engage in responsible parenting and become loving, positive human beings. Our vision is that they live long enough to grow up.
