We Strive for Change Chicago

Our Mission

The mission of “We Strive for Change Chicago Organization” is to empower individuals facing adversity by providing therapeutic outdoor sports experiences and support systems that promote healing, resilience, and positive change through one-on-one mentoring and leadership.

Prevention & Intervention

We engage young individuals through outdoor activities and mentorship to prevent negative influences. By partnering with local schools and community centers, we reach at-risk youth early to focus on gang involvement prevention.

Community building

We foster a sense of community and belonging through group activities and events that encourage positive social interactions. By creating a supportive network, we help individuals build meaningful connections and a sense of solidarity.

Re-entry

We offer strong mentorship and connect individuals with rehab facilities to support lasting recovery. Our ongoing support and follow-up ensure sustained sobriety and personal growth.
