Your zip code should not determine the size of your dreams—or the future you’re allowed to imagine.
​​Zip-code-based inequity blocks opportunity—limiting what youth see, the paths they can explore, and the futures they can reach. When that happens, it isn’t just individual potential that’s lost; the world loses what entire communities might have created if given the chance.
OUR MISSION
To create and activate a community of care givers, educators and businesses committed to guiding underserved students towards the possible futures that have been hidden for too long
OUR VISION
To cut poverty in half across Chicago and Northwest Indiana by 2050
THE CYCLE BREAKER APPROACH: BUILDING FROM THE INSIDE OUT
%20(1).png)
Through the Cycle Breaker Quest, youth are guided by trained facilitators, mentors, and community allies through a science-backed journey of self-discovery, mindset growth, and possibility-building—designed to help them break cycles and build futures once denied.
​
We create brave, supportive spaces where young people are encouraged to explore who they are, take meaningful risks, and learn how their brains, beliefs, and choices shape their lives.
Inside out Transformation
Science Backed + Human Centred
We help youth understand themselves first—how their brains work, what shapes their beliefs, and where their strengths live—so growth starts from within, not from pressure to “fix” behavior.
Inside Out
The Cycle Breaker Quest blends neuroscience, mindset tools, and real-world application to create lasting change—grounded in research, delivered with heart.
