The Youth Connection Charter School (YCCS) 20th Anniversary Gala was held at Chicago’s Theater on the Lake on October 25, 2018. YCCS and its campuses, honored educational visionaries and advocates for quality education for all youth in the greater Chicago area. The VIP Reception was followed by a Premier Gala with special guests, student presentations and an awards ceremony, including Community, Advocacy and Big Picture Honorees.

Youth Connection Charter School is a not-for-profit educational organization, partnering for the past two decades with non-profit community-based organizations, some who have served their neighborhoods over 40 years. Recognized as a national leader in high quality alternative high school educational programs; in 1997, YCCS was the only alternative education system chartered in Illinois dedicated exclusively to serving students in need of non-traditional pathways to graduation, college, and careers.
