Support Action Camp 2025

About This Event

Join us in support of Action Camp, where students from across Illinois come together for five days of youth-led workshops, social events, and community building. This year, we're excited to gather in person from Monday, July 28 through Friday, August 1, 2025.

Please select "Get Tickets" to make a donation at one of the levels listed below.

Our largest annual convening of youth leaders, Action Camp is co-hosted with Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook. Together, we create a space often described as “magical” where young people see their identities reflected back at them, sharpen their critical lens, strengthen their own anti-oppressive frameworks, actively skill-share, and practice creating spaces in the world where all identities are safe, supported, affirmed and celebrated. Action Camp is open to youth leaders who are rising 8th graders through rising seniors in high school.  

“This was probably the first place I felt I could truly be myself and more people should feel included and accepted like that.” ~ Action Camp 2024, Camper

“Action Camp 2024 was a transformational experience for my now 15-year-old kid. The friendships they made, the mentorship they received, the deep care they experienced from everyone involved -- all of these have been life-changing.” ~ Action Camp 2024, Camper Caregiver 

No campers are ever turned away from Action Camp for lack of funds, and your support helps to make this possible! 

Thank you so much!
