Chicago Youth Foundation Active youth do better in life. They are more likely to excel in school succeed in work and have fewer health issues. Ice sports are a powerful way to keep kids active and teach valuable life lessons yet the kids who benefit the most from ice sports are prohibited from participating due to multiple barriers these sports present. Our womenled initiative removes the barriers and allows all youth in the greater Chicago area the opportunity to experience the thrill of participating in ice sports in a fun safe positive and inclusive environment regardless of race color religion national origin gender and socioeconomic status.
