Join Youth Outreach Services (YOS) for The Art of Wine & Chocolate, an unforgettable evening of celebration, inspiration, and giving as we honor more than 65 years of empowering youth and strengthening families across Chicago and surrounding communities.
This special event brings together community leaders, corporate partners, donors, volunteers, board members, and friends who share a commitment to helping young people overcome challenges and build brighter futures. Throughout the evening, you’ll hear inspiring stories of resilience, celebrate the remarkable achievements of youth who have reached important personal, educational, and life milestones, and recognize the dedicated staff, community partners, and sponsors whose generosity and commitment make our mission possible.
Throughout the evening
Guests will enjoy an exceptional tasting experience featuring fine wines, handcrafted chocolates, local craft beer, premium spirits, delicious appetizers, and culinary samplings from local businesses. The evening also offers opportunities to connect with fellow supporters, meet the YOS leadership team, learn more about our life-changing programs, and discover how YOS serves more than 3,000 youth and families each year through free, community-based counseling, prevention, juvenile justice, and child welfare services.
Every ticket purchased
Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and donation made directly supports programs that provide young people with the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to face life’s challenges with confidence, competence, and dignity. Together, we can continue creating pathways to hope, healing, and lasting success for the youth and families who depend on YOS.
