We are incredibly grateful to Endeavor Health for its continued investment in Alive Center through the Community Investment Fund (CIF). 💚

The Community Investment Fund supports local organizations working to improve the health and well-being of the communities they serve, and we are honored to be among them.

Through this generous support, Alive is able to provide free, preventive mental health services to youth in grades 5–12 at our Naperville and Hanover Park Drop-In centers.

Thank you, Endeavor Health, for believing in our teens, investing in prevention, and helping us create spaces where every young person has the opportunity to COME ALIVE. 💚

Your partnership makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the youth and families we serve.

Meet THIS IS ALIVE. 💚

Our 2026 Giving Tuesday campaign tells the beautiful story of what can happen when a teen finds their people. 📖✍️

Someone saves them a seat. A conversation becomes a friendship. Their idea gets heard. Before long, they’re the one making room for someone else. 💯🫶

🏡 THIS is Belonging.
🌟 THIS is Leadership.
🤝 THIS is Connection.
🚀 THIS is ALIVE.

Between now and December 1, we’ll share more of the teens and stories behind those words.
