We're a proud coalition member of Vote Yes for Clean Air, Clean Water, and Wildlife – a Cook County ballot referendum on Election Day 11/8. It would greatly support the Forest Preserves of Cook County, which protect our air and water quality while also reducing local flooding.

By year-end, Chicago Voyagers will cross a huge milestone-surpassing 100K hours of youth programming since our 2008 founding.

As we celebrate, we want to thank those who made it possible—especially the thousands of young people who have taken this journey with us! 🎉

The Growth Zone is based on the 1930’s work of psychologist Lev Vygotsky. Instead of spending time doing what they already know how to do (Comfort Zone) or doing things they cannot do (Panic Zone), we aim to keep students in the sweet spot in the middle—the Growth Zone.

Learning outdoor wilderness skills isn't just about the hard skills young people walk away with. They also get to build confidence, problem solving, and teamwork. They see that not knowing how to do something yet isn't a roadblock but an opportunity.
