Our Four Core Programmatic Areas:
-
Corazón’s Teen REACH after-school program offers a fun way for youth to connect with each other.
Our dedicated team of youth development specialists focus on equipping young Latino/as through robust academic preparation, life and leadership skills, and community service.
Our FUERZA Youth Center serves as a safe haven for youth, where they not only receive help with homework, but also benefit from intensive preparation for college and employment. Our comprehensive program includes STEM and sports, games and gardening, arts and meditation, field trips and summer employment opportunities.
-
The HIV/STI Testing & Health Education program empowers youth through comprehensive sexual health education and outreach. Serving students ages 11 to 18 in Illinois schools, the program delivers age-appropriate, evidence-based lessons that promote informed decision-making, prevent teen pregnancies, and reduce the spread of STIs. Youth and adults also have access to free, confidential HIV/STI testing and supportive prevention services in a safe and inclusive environment.
-
Community Impact at Corazón fosters meaningful connections between individuals and the community while supporting personal growth and organizational sustainability. Through initiatives like Civic Heart, the department creates inclusive spaces for dialogue, unity, and creativity by hosting events that blend art, music, poetry, and discussion around themes chosen by staff or community members. Project: SELF, Corazón’s court-mandated community service program, empowers participants through personal reflection, professional development, and service opportunities. Its bilingual, holistic curriculum addresses identity, healing, and social justice, while also building job readiness skills and encouraging community involvement.
In addition to these programs, the department strengthens Corazón’s mission by coordinating corporate partnerships, advancing fundraising efforts, managing communications, and cultivating external relationships. Together, these efforts expand organizational visibility, encourage active participation, and build a stronger, more connected community where individuals and neighborhoods can thrive.
-
The Youth Ambassador program equips young individuals with the skills and experience needed for
long-term, career-focused employment. Through strategic partnerships with local
businesses and organizations, participants gain practical work experience while
engaging in professional development, including financial literacy, digital skills, and
leadership training. The program fosters future leaders committed to building a more
united and inclusive community.
