Encouraging Chicago’s youth to avoid gangs and stay away from the streets-life.

Youth Employment 

Compared to their peers from higher income households, youth from lower income households often encounter obstacles when it comes to acquiring career training. Additionally, they frequently face limitations in terms of resources and accessibility to financial education and related services. Consequently, these disadvantaged youth may find it more challenging to attain financial stability.


To counteract this disparity, youth employment programs offer a valuable opportunity for young individuals, particularly those who are disadvantaged, to enhance their financial knowledge, skills, and access to resources. These programs aim to equip youth with the necessary tools to effectively manage their finances as they transition into adulthood and enter the workforce.
Youth employment programs cover a wide array of vocational skills, enabling young people to obtain the necessary training essential for success in their future careers and overall transition into adulthood.

At ULON, our primary objective is to provide a multitude of engaging activities for the young individuals within our community. By offering such diverse options, we aim to effectively keep the youth occupied and away from potentially hazardous environments, such as the streets. Our comprehensive range of programs and events serve as an impactful solution to ensure that the younger generation remains actively involved in wholesome activities that contribute to their personal growth and overall well-being.
