🌎 From Chicago to Havana: A Journey of Passion, Purpose & Possibility 🇨🇺
YourPassion1st, in partnership with
@micasaholiday had the honor of shepherding a group of young adults from across the Chicagoland Area, on a 14-day international mentoring experience to Cuba — a journey that transformed lives and expanded horizons.
For a couple, it was their first time on a plane, their first time leaving the country, and for one, even their first time stepping beyond the boundaries of their own community. 💫 Opportunities like this don’t just create memories — they change perspectives, ignite purpose, and inspire belief in what’s possible.
These youth

@_its.paigeee_ s1mpdirector inspired us & we are honored to call them family 💯
Thank you to
@juliustmt &
@antidote_inc for being dear friends, amazing partners, and the greatest mentors these youth could ask for.
Thank you to
@bhealthcares and
@whataboutusinc for the supplies to support the Cuban people.
Thank you to our donors/sponsors, we can’t do this work without you.
💡 Our vision is a world where every young adult is inspired to find, define, and follow their passion into the workforce or entrepreneurship.
💬 Our mission is to connect youth with mentors — through one-on-one sessions, group experiences, and global adventures — that help them grow personally, professionally, and mentally.
In communities like ours, where homicide and suicide weigh heavily on young lives, mentorship and exposure can be the difference between giving up and discovering greatness. ❤️
If you’re a young adult seeking guidance — or you know someone who is — join us at the Oak Park Public Library, Monday–Thursday, 4:30–6:30 PM, or DM us on Instagram to connect.
🎟️ And if you believe in this work, we need your support now more than ever.
Click the link in our bio to donate, grab your tickets to our Fall Benefit (Nov 7), or bid on incredible auction items — from getaways and Cubs tickets to tutoring and tax prep services.
Remember, in order to achieve your dreams you have to follow #YourPassion1st 💪🏾❤️
