Chicago Emerging Stars

Ignite a Future. Light a Star.

Fuel the Dreams of Chicago’s Emerging Leaders

At Chicago Emerging Stars, we believe that every young person holds a universe of untapped potential. Your donation doesn’t just support a program—it lights a path. It tells a child growing up in an underserved community: You are seen. You matter. And your future is worth fighting for.

Every gift—big or small—is a spark that fuels mentorship, opportunity, and transformation.

Your Support Is the Gravity That Grounds Us—And the Lift That Launches Us

From the classroom to career pathways, from personal growth to powerful leadership, your generosity directly supports the day-to-day work that helps youth rise. And not just survive—but soar.

You help us provide:

  • ⭐ One-on-one mentorship that guides youth through life’s toughest moments

  • 🚀 Academic and career development programs that open doors and change lives

  • 🌌 Safe spaces where young people feel empowered, connected, and inspired

  • 🌍 Community events that create joy, build confidence, and remind youth they belong

When you give to Chicago Emerging Stars, you’re not donating to a cause—you’re investing in a movement. You’re helping build a future where every young person, no matter where they come from, can rise, lead, and shine.

Our Mission, Your Momentum

Chicago Emerging Stars is on a mission to empower youth ages 7 to 24 through mentorship, opportunity, and community. We believe in meeting every young person where they are—and walking with them toward where they’re meant to be.

 

With your help, we provide more than services—we offer belief. Belief that a kid from any corner of this city can rise, lead, and shine beyond expectation.

Note on Tax-Deductibility

Chicago Emerging Stars is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, meaning your donation is tax-deductible. Every dollar you contribute goes directly to helping youth in underserved communities unlock their full potential and build a brighter future.

Help Us Keep the Stars Shining

Every dollar moves our mission forward—and tells a young person they are not alone in this universe.

This isn’t just about today. It’s about what comes next—for them, and for all of us.

Donate now and help us keep the lights on, the mentors showing up, and the stars shining bright.
