With centers in Little Village and Humboldt Park, New Life Centers of Chicagoland connect youth and young adults with Christ and Community through mentoring, education, and sports. Many children in the neighborhood encounter language barriers, gang pressure and a poor educational system. New Life Centers hopes to provide a safe place for them to learn and grow holistically, where confidence can be built, and where opportunity can be given.

Summer Programs
La Semilla Summer Camp runs during the month of July and includes Bible stories, games, crafts, singing, and field trips to various Chicago-area locations, as well as 4 days and 3 nights of camp outside the city at Dickson Valley Camp & Retreat Center. The summer camp partners with 2 other nearby churches, La Villita Community Church in Little Village and Westlawn Gospel Chapel in North Lawndale. Children who may otherwise not meet because of gang lines and racial/cultural divisions in the city come together for weekly field trips and at Dickson Valley Camp.
