Founded in 2013, Greenleaf Motivation Inc. has proudly served the Chicago community and beyond for 7 years, empowering young entrepreneurs, students, and families through education, mentorship, wellness initiatives, workforce development, and violence prevention. Our mission is to inspire growth, create access to opportunity, and strengthen communities by providing year-round programs that build leadership, entrepreneurship, and life skills.

We are deeply committed to reducing violence by equipping youth and young adults with the tools to channel their creativity and ambition into entrepreneurship. By fostering positive pathways to ownership, innovation, and self-sufficiency, we help participants move away from cycles of violence and instead contribute positively to their communities.

Through the years, we have been blessed to receive support from Mac Arthur Foundation, PepsiCo, Sam’s Club, Walmart, local small businesses, faith-based organizations, and community partners, whose contributions have allowed us to expand our impact. With their partnership and continued community engagement, we remain focused on sustainable growth and measurable outcomes.

Our long-term vision is to ensure access to resources and opportunities all year round, allowing young leaders and families to thrive academically, professionally, and personally. By securing ongoing financial support through grants, sponsorships, and collaborations, Greenleaf Motivation Inc. will continue to uplift, protect, and empower communities for generations to come.
