VOA Illinois brings a bright future to children and youth through our youth services programs.
Summer Camp
Summer camp provides a safe space for the children living at Hope Manor II and Hope Manor Village in Englewood, Chicago over the summer months. This 6-week program brings new experiences for the children to open up their world view, and explore what the city has to offer. Our summer camp provides a structured, supportive, safe, and most importantly fun environment for the kids to socialize and be kids, taking a break from any hardships at home or within the community.
North Lawndale College Prep
VOA Illinois works in partnership with North Lawndale College Prep to provide mentoring and therapeutic services to students, teachers and parents to impact the school culture, and amplify the culture within. Our services equip the school community with the tools to better understand each other, and prevent violence within their community.
Girl Scouts at Hope Manor II
Through our Girl Scout troop program, we have been able to provide safe, free programming to young girls in the community. Our troop has focused on developing leadership skills, encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit, and building lasting relationships. Our Girl Scout troop has also exposed the young girls to strong female role models that set a positive example for their future potential.
