Since 2016, Lyrik Place actively supports youth in Englewood and surrounding Chicagoland communities by providing comprehensive educational, mentorship, and technology opportunities. Our flagship initiative, “Living Beyond Existence,” equips students in grades 6-12 with essential skills such as conflict resolution, teamwork, communication, emotional intelligence, and financial literacy.
In addition, Lyrik Place has prioritized digital job readiness training, including resume building, online job search techniques, interview preparation, and career exploration through technology. We also provide hands-on technology assistance, helping students and families set up, navigate, and effectively use digital devices and software for academic and personal success.
Through structured social-emotional learning (SEL), targeted technology support, and mentorship, our programs empower youth, improve educational outcomes, and prepare them to confidently navigate a rapidly evolving digital world
