At the ALIVE Center, we're all about empowering teens! Since 2012, we've been using our unique peer mentoring model to help teens in Illinois discover their passions, build leadership skills, and form meaningful connections. With locations in Naperville, Aurora, Hanover Park, and more on the way, our award-winning nonprofit offers after-school and summer programs designed just for teens.
Our mission which was written by our teens is to create Teen-Led, Teen-Driven™ centers focused on empowering the youth of today to become confident, impassioned, resilient leaders of tomorrow.
At ALIVE, teens lead the way! From tutoring and mentoring to art and dance classes, nutrition workshops, and stress management sessions, there's always something exciting happening here. We're all about new experiences, expanding minds, and creating a place where teens feel like they belong.
By supporting our free teen programs and drop-in activities, you're not just helping us make the most of our space – you're also investing in the future of our local teens. Thank you for being a part of our community and helping us empower the youth of today to become the leaders of tomorrow!
