OUR PROJECTS
The Lit Stands for Literacy
Growing a Movement Around Literacy
The Chicago LIT Collective is building a movement centered on literacy, storytelling, and youth empowerment. Since launching in 2024, our programs and partnerships have engaged 100+ young participants, awarded $1,000 in student pitch competition prizes, and secured $10,000 in grant funding to expand our work. Together, these milestones reflect our mission to create meaningful opportunities for the next generation of creators, thinkers, and leaders.
