YOUTH CONNECTIONS CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL

Youth Connections Charter HS is a public charter school that is part of the Chicago Public Schools Dist 299 school district, located in Chicago, IL.

Youth Connections Charter School (YCCS) is a network of independent charter campuses located throughout Chicago, specifically designed to serve students who have dropped out of traditional high schools or are at risk of doing so. Rather than a single traditional building, YCCS functions as a resource-rich umbrella organization that partners with various community-based organizations to offer smaller, personalized learning environments. Their approach focuses on re-engaging students by providing flexible scheduling, individualized attention, and a supportive culture that prioritizes social-emotional growth alongside academic recovery.

The program at the 10 W 35th St location and its associated sites is tailored to students seeking a second chance at earning their high school diploma. By integrating intensive support services, vocational training, and credit-recovery initiatives, the school aims to remove the common barriers—such as work commitments, family responsibilities, or past academic struggles—that often prevent young adults from completing their education. Ultimately, YCCS serves as a critical bridge for Chicago’s youth, helping them build the skills and confidence necessary to pursue post-secondary education or enter the workforce successfully.
