Mission

G.O.A.L.S. Inc. is a non profit organization with the mission of enriching the lives of at-risk and underprivileged youth in and around the Chicago land area. We desire to provide young people with experiences and interactions that will enhance their perspectives and foster hope.

About

Over the years, there has been a significant decline in after-school/summer programs that youth in Chicago are able to benefit from. Many youth aren't being challenged, nor are they given proper avenues to explore extracurricular activities. G.O.A.L.S. Inc. was created to provide youth with opportunities and experiences that they might not receive elsewhere.

Our goal is to equip children socially, culturally, emotionally, and academically through traveling the world, local excursions, the introduction of foreign language and creative expression through the arts. Via mentorship and social-emotional interactions we will build confidence and self-esteem that will allow our G.O.A.L.S. kids to flourish.
