This summer, we’re inviting you to help build something powerful in the heart of Chicago — not a building, but a future.

Co-LLAB is Chicago’s first small incubator dedicated entirely to youth and young adults — a space where innovation meets mentorship, where creativity turns into entrepreneurship, and where young people learn not just how to dream, but how to build.

We are raising $10,000 to power our Summer Youth Work Program, a vital initiative that gives our youth the tools, resources, and support they need to step into their potential. Your support will directly fund:

• Stipends for our young people, ensuring they are fairly compensated for their time and contributions

• Supplies and materials needed to support hands-on learning, creative experimentation, and venture development

• Microgrants to help fund youth-led projects and small businesses born right here in our community

At Co-LLAB, our youth aren’t just participants — they’re visionaries, designers, and problem-solvers. They come through our doors with ideas and leave with real-world experience, community support, and a path forward.

With your help, we can provide them with more than just a summer program — we can give them a launchpad.

Donate today. Invest in our youth. Invest in the future.
