Together Chicago had our Faith & Service Initiative’s Partner Convening, a vibrant gathering of organizations, leaders, and community advocates committed to walking alongside young people as they grow in faith, purpose, and service.
This event was an example of our mission to unite congregations, nonprofits, and businesses around discipleship, mentorship, and vocational readiness. Representatives from several of our partner organizations shared about their ongoing work, highlighting innovative approaches to mentoring youth, and creating opportunities for personal and spiritual growth.
As we reflect on the Faith & Service initiative’s program focus areas—congregational discipleship, specialized mentorship, education and purpose discovery, and vocational readiness—it became clear that each partner plays a vital role in this ecosystem of support. The gathering reminded us that while no single organization can address every need, together we are building a stronger, more connected Chicago.
We are deeply grateful to our partners who joined us, shared openly, and leaned into the work of transformation. The journey continues, and we are excited to see the fruits of these collaborations in the months and years ahead.
