OUR VISION
BUILDING BETTER LIVES FOR OUR TEENS
Our focus is ultimately on the youth and helping them develop essential life skills to advance through high school, college, and the workplace. We help children develop these necessary skills through the arts, job opportunities, internships, and more. There is no limit to how much education and stability a child can achieve with great mentors in place.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to expand upon a legendary culture and tradition while advocating positive change and excellence for children, young adults, and athletes through mentoring, education, and building character and life skills to prepare them to succeed.
WHAT WE DO
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Change starts within the community.
Forever Fire is devoted to reaching within the community to foster positive relationships, which lead to long-term beneficial outcomes for students and their families.
MENTORING
Every child needs someone to help guide them along the path of life. Forever Fire is devoted to providing mentors to children who will act as positive role models and guide their development.
TRAINING
Training provides a positive outlet for children to deal with the wide range of emotions they experience daily. The mind-to-body connections they will develop will aid them in both identifying and managing their feelings.
COLLEGE AND CAREER PLANNING
College and Career planning are essentials to a child's journey throughout life. Forever Fire helps children clarify where they are and where they're going through College and Career Planning.
WHY FOREVER FIRE?
In 2017, the proportion of children
in poverty, by race/ethnicity, is
highest among black and Hispanic
children (29 and 25 percent,
respectively, compared with 11
percent among white children).
The analysis of jail population and census data conducted by The Circuit reveals that black people are experiencing incarceration in the Cook County Jail at a rate exceeding 17 times that of white people. This analysis represents the most significant disparity between the two groups since at least 1990.
The number of children from low-income households participating in afterschool fell from 4.6 million in 2014 to 2.7 million in 2020. The number of
higher-income children in afterschool fell by just under 450,000 over the same period.
