Creating safe, vibrant spaces for youth in the heart of our community.
Teens on 53rd is a group of volunteers in Chicago working for a safe, welcoming Halloween for young people from all over the South Side.
We advocate for an approach that emphasizes conflict resolution, de-escalation, welcome, and engagement. We are committed to building healing relationships among all stakeholders and creating opportunities for teens to engage with each other and our larger community in creative and positive ways.
We are proud to be a program of the Blue Gargoyle, a youth-arts community nonprofit at University Church.
