Project Title: Meals for Minors Youth Feeding Program
Project Description:

Meals for Minors Youth Feeding Program has been in existence for two (2) years now as the high demand from hrandparents and parents arise asking for donations of food gift cards to help feed kids.

As you may or may not know CDC reports that in 2019–2020, 10.8% of children aged 0–17 years lived in a household that experienced food insecurity during the past 30 days.

Here in Clayton & Henry County that number has double due to the extremely HIGH increase in the basic needs as a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

When children are out of school for more than two (2) or more days many go to bed hungry because grandparents and parent rely on the breakfast and lunch meals from schools to supplement the one meal and snack that they get at home.

Project Title: Every Kid Outdoors
Project Description:

Project Impact 180’s "Every Kid Outdoors" Initiative is a proactive response to the concerning issue of "Nature deficit disorder" affecting Chicago’s youth in the digital age. The initiative aims to reconnect young individuals with the natural world by inspiring engagement in non-digital activities, with a focus on reducing screen time and encouraging outdoor exploration.

With a mission to strengthen the bond between Chicago’s youth and nature, "Every Kid Outdoors" seeks to redirect attention from digital screens and foster a profound connection with the great outdoors. The program specifically targets Chicago’s youth, with special consideration for those facing challenges in high-crime communities. It recognizes their unique struggles and provides tailored outdoor experiences, serving as a lifeline for escape and offering a fresh perspective on life beyond their usual surroundings.

The program’s activities range from family cooking nights to adventurous pursuits like hiking, camping, creative writing, painting, rock climbing, and kayaking. Each activity is designed not only to captivate participants but also to provide tangible cognitive and emotional benefits.

"Every Kid Outdoors" emphasizes the advantages of outdoor engagement, including increased intelligence, happiness, attention span, and reduced anxiety. Beyond these benefits, the program aims to build confidence, instill responsibility, promote physical activity, reduce stress, stimulate critical thinking, improve mood, and alleviate symptoms of ADHD.

Open to potential collaborations, the initiative envisions a brighter, healthier future for Chicago’s youth. With a year-round schedule of activities, ongoing evaluation based on predefined metrics, and opportunities for participation and support, "Every Kid Outdoors" aims to create a lasting connection between Chicago’s youth and the natural world in a concise and impactful manner.

Project Title: Story Time Young Entrepreneurs
Project Description:

Dream North Foundation, a nonprofit organization established in September 2021 committed to uplifting underserved communities (CA, NV, OR and The Bahamas), especially women and children (ages 11-18) exposed to the judicial and foster care systems, homelessness and sex trafficking, through literary arts and community development programs. Our mission is to make a positive and lasting impact on a minimum of 1,000 minority community members annually, focusing on promoting literacy, fostering healthy lifestyles, and bridging cultural gaps through collaboration and global unification.

We are thrilled to present our upcoming initiative, the "Story Time Young Entrepreneurs" after-school program scheduled to launch in Fall 2024 in Los Angeles (Green Dot Public Schools) and Las Vegas (Clark County School District). This program is poised to serve 100-150 students annually. Over two semesters, the 10-week program ensures a substantial 150 service hours per student, offering a robust educational experience. Participants will delve into the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, learning vital skills such as budgeting, business plan summaries, and vision board creation.

A noteworthy observation has been the transformative impact of the culinary component, especially with the expertise brought in through the partnership with Something Good 2 Eat Catering. Beyond skill acquisition, it serves as a catalyst for youth engagement, self-esteem cultivation, and community development. This component becomes a positive and vital outlet for those exposed to at-risk conditions, encouraging them to focus their energy on crafts that uplift both themselves and others. The program uniquely combines mentorship and financial resources for culinary arts advancement while instilling awareness of the positive effects of healthy eating, ensuring students gain valuable trade and life skills for a holistic development journey. We anticipate significant positive changes in the lives of the participants, fostering personal and academic growth.

Project Title: Shades of a Black Girl: The Difference Between You and I
Project Description:

Racism exists between different racial groups, but colorism exists within your own race, within your own people. Colorism has been an issue in the African American culture since slavery with lighter skin being better than darker skin. This thinking has been passed down from generation to generation and affects young girls in different ways within American culture. Colorism starts at a young and impactful age for young girls at a time when they are figuring out who they are and where they belong in the world. This issue filters into adulthood; whether it’s the job she attains, the way she wears her hair, the business she starts, or the men she attracts. Colorism profoundly affects young children and their families due to how ingrained it is in communities of color. Colorism invokes many issues for young students, such as struggles with cultural identity, insecurity, and feelings of misrepresentation. Colorism has divided a culture of young black women that are stronger together than on their own. We are proud to partner with Higher Ground Neighborhood Development Group (HGDG) in several projects that support children and young adults in our community. In partnering with youth organizations, we are able to connect with the youth and provide access to art, culture, and education at no cost for the youth. Young people are experiencing unprecedented levels of disconnection from opportunity. In addition, early intervention is critical in helping youth lay strong foundations for healthy habits that improve success in adulthood.
